STAAR Test
Each year, The Texas Education Agency analyzes STAAR test results, graduation rates, and attendance across the state. Comparison data is further studied and a final summary called the Campus Accountability Report is issued. This report documents how each campus achieved in the previous school year based on spring STAAR test results. Results reflect how students performed in general, how students improved over time, and lastly how students with particular achievement gaps are moving forward.
The Harrington staff is very pleased with our results and appreciate all of the support you give us and your children. Earning 5 stars is not an easy task and we could not do it without you, our Husky Parents. We are very proud to share our campus report with you!
- Coming Up Later in April-
Culture Night
Harrington's Culture Night is a FREE Family Event that allows Husky families to attend and learn about other cultures, traditions, food, languages, crafts, music, dance, clothing, and much more!
HOST YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S TABLE!
We would love for you to join us at the Culture Night exhibit and represent your country! You will have your own table where you'll be able to display anything you would like to share about your country with the Harrington Community. Come in traditional dress or anything that represents your heritage. Email us here today at harringtonculturenight@gmail.com so we can ensure your country's flag in advance for this amazing event!
Would you like to share a heritage talent with the visitors? We hosted a Chinese Opera troupe and dancers at recent culture fairs. Singing, dancing and making crafts would all be considered as options to showcase for our visitors.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT CULTURE NIGHT?
- There will be tables representing countries from around the world.
- Students will have the opportunity to learn more about those countries and cultures. Each student will also have a "passport" that will get stamped each time they visit a different country's table.
- You will get to taste food from around the world!
- A Parade of Nations will be presented by the students along with a special evening presentation
It’s going to be a great event and we hope to see you all there!
