August 17, 2022 - The Texas Education Agency (TEA) released accountability rating grades for districts and campuses throughout Texas this week. Shelbyville ISD is pleased to announce
that our school district received an ‘A’ rating for the 2021-22 school year. In addition, Shelbyville School (S.W. Carter Elementary School, Shelbyville Middle School, and Shelbyville High School) received a campus rating of an ‘A’ rating for the 2021-22 school year.
The TEA accountability ratings are based on student performance on state standardized tests, graduation rates, and college, career and military readiness outcomes. The ratings are also determined by examining STAAR/EOC results to assess student achievement, school progress and whether districts and campuses are closing achievement gaps among various student groups. The TXSchools.gov website contains interactive accountability rating reports and detailed reports for each district, campus and open-enrollment charter school in the state of Texas.
Although Shelbyville ISD is proud of the continued academic success accomplished by our students and staff, we must point out that we believe our school district is defined by much more than the single letter grade generated by the State’s accountability rating system. We would have been disappointed with a letter grade less than an ‘A,” but we would not have thought any less of the outstanding accomplishments of our students and staff in academics, extracurriculars, community service, and citizenship. Our school district works diligently to develop well-rounded lifelong learners who display
responsibility, intelligence, compassion, leadership, stewardship, character, and problem-solving abilities. Just as Shelbyville ISD believes our school district is much more than a letter grade assigned by the State, SISD also believes our students are much more than an individual score on STAAR, a letter grade on a subject test, or a performance result in an extracurricular competition.
We value every student in Shelbyville. Working with our parents and other stakeholders, Shelbyville ISD’s faculty and staff are committed to protecting our students and being with them every step of the way to help navigate disappointments and challenges and to celebrate successes, both big and small. Shelbyville students, staff, and community will continue to work closely together to make each of us a better person and to try and make the world a better place.
We look forward to having another outstanding school year! It is a great day to be a Dragon!
