The Texas Legislature in 2001
created the Gold Performance Acknowledgment to publicly recognize districts and campuses
for high performance in areas that are in addition to those used to determine state
accountability ratings. These indicators are in statute and determined by the Commissioner
of Education. In order to be eligible for Gold Performance Acknowledgment, the campus or
district must be rated “Academically Acceptable” or higher. Districts and/or
campuses may receive acknowledgment in Advance Course or Dual Enrollment Completion;
Advanced Placement Results; Attendance Rates; Commended Performance in Reading/ELA,
Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies; Comparable Improvement in Reading/ELA and
Math; Recommended High School Program/Distinguished Achievement Program; SAT/ACT Results;
and the Texas Success Initiative/High Ed Readiness Component in ELA and Math. Commended
Performance is the highest performance level you can reach on the TAKS test and this
distinction recognizes districts and campuses with at least 25 percent of the student
population scoring at or above the Commended Performance level on the TAKS. To receive a
Comparable Improvement Acknowledgment, campuses must achieve a degree of improvement from
one year to the next that places them in the top 25 percent of its 40-member campus
comparison group. |
