Title I, Part A Student Achievement, 2012-2013. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the student achievement performance on the state's standardized tests and Houston Independent School District's (ISD's) norm-referenced tests for students in Title I, Part A schools. This report discusses student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), Stanford 10, and Aprenda 3. Results are aggregated by school, school office, and district. Title I, Part A school programs are implemented on either a schoolwide or targeted assistance basis. According to the Guidance for the Implementation of Title I, Part A (Texas Education Agency, 2010), a schoolwide program permits a school with 40 percent or greater of its students at the poverty level to use funds from Title I, Part A and other federal education program funds and resources to improve the educational program of the entire school in order to raise academic achievement for all students. This contrasts with the targeted assistance program, through which Title I, Part A funds are used only to provide supplementary educational services for eligible students who are economically disadvantaged. In 2012-2013, all Houston ISD Title I schools were designated as schoolwide campuses.
