2019-2020 TEA School Report Card for Zachry MS
Dear Parent,
Attached you will find a copy of the 2019-2020 School Report Card produced by the Texas Education Agency for all schools in the state. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures. It is intended specifically to inform parents and guardians about a school’s individual characteristics and its academic performance.
Also attached are the 2019-2020 School Report Card definitions to help you understand the report. These definitions describe programs at all levels, so some definitions may not all apply to the school your child attends.
Given the impact of COVID-19, all districts and schools received a label of Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster for their 2020 accountability ratings. Due to the cancellation of spring 2020 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the STAAR performance data is not updated.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the School Report Card.
