To be considered for the GPA, schools must have an Accountability Rating of "Academically Acceptable" or higher and must meet the acknowledgment criteria for one or more of the indicators.

About the Tests

In 2007-2008, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11.
TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas.
The different student groups are identified by the Texas Education Agency; if there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
