Community and Student Engagement Ratings
House Bill 5 (HB 5) of the 83rd Texas Legislature Regular Session added Section 39.0545 to the Texas Education Code requiring each school district to rate the district as a whole and each individual campus on factors related to community and student engagement. As required by statute, the criteria used to assign ratings were developed by district and campus committees. The rating process included input from staff, students, and the community gathered through a survey administered each spring.
The statute requires that nine factors are evaluated for the district and for each individual campus. An overall rating for the district and each campus must also be assigned. Through the evaluation process a rating in each area was identified according to the following scale:
Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable, Unacceptable, or Not Applicable
The following nine areas were evaluated for the school year.
Fine arts
Wellness and physical education
Community and parental involvement
21st Century Workforce Development programs
Second language acquisition programs
Digital learning environment
Dropout prevention strategies
Educational programs for gifted and talented students
