Borger Middle School Staff celebrates the three distinctions they earned
Schools from around the state received their first ‘grade report’ from the Texas Education Agency on Wednesday. Borger ISD received a “B” scoring 83 out of a possible 100 points in the various areas measured.
The TEA report shows which schools met state education standards based on three areas: student achievement, student progress, and closing performance gaps.
“I am excited to announce that our district earned a rating of “B” and all schools ‘Met Standard’. There are so many great activities going on in our district, but we always focus most on our core business- instruction, curriculum, and student learning. It is good to see independent confirmation of the academic success of our students,” stated Superintendent Chance Welch.
Mr. Welch goes on to say, “Our schools have a lot of success to celebrate! I am proud of the overall 91 that our middle school earned, and I am also proud of the 91 our high school earned on College, Career, and Military Readiness, which is an area that we have emphasized for many years! BIS, BHS, and BMS all received distinction designations! Based on the original 2017 A-F results, Crockett made an overall gain of 9%. Crockett Elementary had a strong performance in reading and math which Gateway and Paul Belton played a vital role in achieving. As a district, we have a strong foundation to build upon!”
A-F Relative Performance is an apples-to-apples comparison of similar school districts and is probably the most accurate indication of how a district is performing. Each district received a numerical score based on a comparison of performance to similar school districts. Borger ISD earned an 85 on Relative Performance when compared to similar school districts!
