Thorndale ISD is proud of the work that went into achieving this year’s accountability ratings across our district! 💛
As we continue Striving for Excellence, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the hard work of our students and staff while also refocusing on the areas where we can continue to grow and improve — always, in all ways.
⭐ How is an A–F rating calculated?
A school’s overall rating is based on three areas, or domains:
• 70% comes from the higher score between Student Achievement (how much students know) and School Progress (student growth and performance compared with similar schools).
• 30% comes from Closing the Gaps, which looks at performance among different student groups.
🏆 What are Distinction Designations?
Distinction Designations recognize schools and districts for exceptional achievement, generally representing performance in the top quartile compared with similar schools or districts.
Schools may earn distinctions in Reading/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Academic Growth, Closing the Gaps, and Postsecondary Readiness.
We are proud of the progress being made throughout Thorndale ISD and grateful for the students, staff, families, and community who continue to help us Strive for Excellence!
