The school excelled with growth in key metrics.Things are about to look a lot gloomier in HISD and it has nothing to do with the state takeover.
"Our students and schools should have at least a year to adapt to these significant changes being proposed and not be penalized for so many moving pieces that will culminate all at once and drastically impact school ratings,"That doesn’t mean the changes aren’t necessary.
