2011 Preliminary TAKS Scores Exceed Ninety Percent

Posted: august 18, 2011

The Midlothian ISD administration is pleased to announce the preliminary Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) scores for students who took the spring 2011 TAKS tests.

We are very pleased to share with you Midlothian ISD’s TAKS scores. The ratings demonstrate that our students performed well on the TAKS tests. The ratings also point to the hard work put in by our administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and students,” said Dr. Stewart, MISD Superintendent.

MISD students continue to perform at high levels in all subjects tested with passing rates exceeding 90 percent at all grade levels. These scores represent academic achievement at a level that is considerably higher than the state passing standard.

Subjects Tested	Met Standard	Commended
Math (grades 3-11)	91%	36%
Reading /ELA (grades 3-9)	95%	42%
Science (grades 5, 8, 10, 11)	92%	42%
Social Studies (grades 8, 10, 11)	97%	51%
Writing (grades 4, 7)	96 %	41%

This year the commended performance was an additional accountability measure in the areas of Math and Reading/ELA.

MISD received the following district and campus ratings:

Midlothian Independent School District - Recognized
J.A. Vitovsky Elementary - Exemplary
J.R. Irvin Elementary - Exemplary
LaRue Miller Elementary - Recognized
Longbranch Elementary - Exemplary
Mt. Peak Elementary - Exemplary
T.E. Baxter Elementary - Recognized
Frank Seale Middle School - Recognized
Walnut Grove Middle - Recognized
Midlothian High School - Recognized

As with all Texas school districts, the MISD ratings reflect a challenging state accountability environment that changed significantly between 2010 and 2011. Ratings were impacted by:

Rising performance standards in Math and Science
New tested content in Science
The elimination of the Texas Projection Measure (TPM)
The inclusion of commended students criteria
The inclusion of all scores from Special Education
The addition of English Language Learner Progress Measure (ELL)

The 2011 Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) will be released in early October 2011. More information is available on TEA's website.
