The Santa Fe Independent School District has received a"Recognized" rating from the Texas Education Agency.  While the district reaches to achieve an "Exemplary" rating, three of our six campuses achieved an "Exemplary" status and the remaining three received a "Recognized" status.

The Texas accountability system provides for districts and individual campuses to receive one of four annual performance ratings: Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable,  and Academically Unacceptable. The ratings are based on student performance on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), spread across grade levels, subjects, and demographic groups.  In all, there are 24 possible rated categories, and campuses and districts must meet specific standards in all 24 to attain higher ratings.  The system is designed such that if any student group does not meet a categorical standard, their entire campus (or district) rating will be affected regardless of the performance of other student groups. 

The Texas accountability system should not be confused with the Federal No Child Left Behind Act, which rates districts and campuses using different methods.
