We did rank the Port Neches-Groves ISD middle and high school campuses in 2013, but we were unable to rank the elementary schools. We make an effort to rank every school, but sometimes are missing necessary data. This used to be common with schools that have split campuses like grades K-3 and grades 4-5, as in Port Neches-Groves ISD. However this year we adjusted the methodology to be able to rank more schools, including those with fewer grades.
We try to rank as many schools as possible. However, in some cases we are missing some of the data necessary to calculate rankings for some schools, and they must be excluded. This is in no way a reflection of their performance.
We make an effort to rank every single school. However, in some cases we are missing data necessary to calculate rankings, and schools must be excluded. We were not able to collect graduation rate data for Vandegrift High School in 2013, so we were unable to rank them. We hope to have all the data next year.
Because of changes to the methodology, we do advise against directly comparing this year's School Rankings to previous years' results. Of course in a relative ranking system, when a campus ranking drops it may not be that the campus is performing worse; it may simply be that other campuses are doing better.
For Condit Elementary, the percentage of students scoring at the Advanced level on STAAR did go down in both Reading and Math since last year.
Under the current TEA accountability rating system, all schools that do not fall below the very minimum "Improvement Required" standard are considered acceptable. This does not allow for differentiation- "A" schools and "D" schools are all lumped together in the same "Met Standard" category.
At this time we do not rank private schools.

The School Rankings that are published on the CHILDREN AT RISK website are the most current, accurate rankings. The East Austin College Prep Academy is ranked as an F.
We use publicly available data from the Texas Education Agency, which only includes public schools. Unfortunately, similar data for private schools is very difficult to access.
North Forest ISD schools do appear in the Greater Houston rankings as well as the statewide rankings.
