3 years of ratings

How this school's change over time is ranked

TEA publishes most measures for one year only, so a change ranking exists just where the same figure is published across years — the overall score, the five score domains, and per-student spending. This page does not yet state where Russell & Cindi Faldyn Elem itself places on these lists, only that the lists exist; open one to find this school's own row.

Where the score comes from

Texas builds the overall rating from the better of Student Achievement and School Progress, weighted 70%, plus Closing the Gaps at 30%. School Progress is itself the better of Academic Growth and Relative Performance. The 60, 70, 80 and 90 rules mark the letter-grade thresholds.

• Relative Performance75 C−4.5 vs similar · −6.8 vs region

• Russell & Cindi Faldyn Elem
• Similar student population (1,918)
• Region 04: Houston (1,303)

Closest to moving up: School Progress, 1 point below B in that domain — the nearest of the measures that count toward the overall rating.

TEA does not add the domains up. The overall score is the better of Student Achievement and School Progress at 70%, plus Closing the Gaps at 30%. For this school that better measure is School Progress (79), so Student Achievement (75) is published above but does not enter the overall score at all — gaining points there changes nothing until it passes 79.
