Research and Accountability Report, 2019-2020. Research Educational Program Report
Holmes, Venita R.
Houston Independent School District
In 1995, Texas charter schools were authorized to improve student learning, increase choice of learning opportunities, create professional opportunities that attract new teachers, establish a new form of accountability, and encourage different and innovative learning methods within the public-school system (Texas Education Code, §12.118). Generally, Texas charter schools operate with more flexibility relative to instructional practices and decision making than traditional schools, allowing promise for families whose children attend underperforming schools. This report presents the Charter Schools program evaluation for the 2019-2020 academic year. The evaluation gathered descriptive data to explore performance trends at HISD contract charter schools in four key areas. The areas explored in this evaluation were student enrollment and demographic characteristics, student performance, teacher quality, and fiscal responsibility.
