SAISD cites reporting error for TEA accountability ratings
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — San Angelo ISD has cited an error in reporting as a contributing factor to recently revealed accountability ratings following the Texas Education Agency's assignment of a 'D' to the district and an 'F' to Lake View High School. In a statement issued to district parents, SAISD Superintendent Christopher Moran said that the TEA's 2023 school year accountability ratings were expected to be a 'D' for the district and an 'F' for Lake View High School. The TEA released its ratings on April 24, revealing that the expectations were correct. According to the TEA, 'the A-F accountability system was established in 2017 by the 85th Texas Legislature through House Bill (HB) 22 to provide clear and consistent information on how schools are performing in three key areas: Student Achievement, School Progress and Closing the Gaps.' The system was 'designed to drive continuous improvement' and is used to help 'nsure that all students, regardless of background, have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for success after graduation.' 'The release of 2023 ratings give families a much-needed and long-overdue opportunity to understand how their schools are serving students,' the TEA said. 'The ratings also give districts valuable insights to strengthen instruction, close achievement gaps and support continuous improvement.' SAPD: 'No credible threat' at Lake View HS, despite online claim Moran said in the statement that 'a reporting error' for the 2022-2023 school year 'led to incomplete data being submitted to the TEA.' He specified that 'grade information from Lake View High School for the spring 2022 semester was dropped from our report during the electronic submission process,' resulting in the assigned ratings. 'Had the reporting error not occurred, the district rating would have been a C and Lake View High School would have been a D,' Moran said. Moran stated that the district took precautionary measures after realizing that the error was made. 'Upon discovering the error, the district implemented updated safeguards to include targeted checkpoints for data verification involving multiple departments, which now occur numerous times each year,' Moran said. Moran said that the district is now working to appeal the ratings 'to ensure the district's academic performance is accurately represented,' a process he stated couldn't begin until the ratings were released. 'While this data error is real and important, it does not fully capture the current state of San Angelo ISD,' Moran said. Moran also said that the TEA's rating is reflective of 3-year-old data that the district 'obtained in the Fall of 2023 and used to make immediate changes at the time.' He said SAISD has made 'significant adjustments since the 2022-2023 school year' and has 'focused on academic growth at all campuses.' The TEA also reported that its 2022-2023 school year and 2023-2024 school year ratings were delayed due to 'legal challenges' and that its 2022 ratings, while released, 'were heavily impacted by pandemic-related learning disruptions and a state law that prevented D and F ratings from being issued that year.' In a separate statement issued two days before the TEA released its ratings, Moran said that academic growth could be expected at SAISD in the coming years. 'You should expect to see a significant academic turnaround in San Angelo ISD in the coming years as a result of the work our skilled teachers, academic support and curriculum and instruction department is engaged in,' Moran said. The TEA's ratings for San Angelo ISD's campuses are as follows: Fort Concho Elementary — A Santa Rita Elementary — A Central High School — C San Jacinto Elementary — C Glenn Middle School — C Glenmore Elementary — C Bonham Elementary — C Lamar Elementary — C Reagan Elementary — D Lone Star Middle School — D McGill Elementary — D Lincoln Middle School — D Bowie Elementary — D Bradford Elementary — F Lake View High School — F Belaire Elementary — F Crockett Elementary — F Fannin Elementary — F Goliad Elementary — F Holiman Elementary — F Carver Alternative Learning Center — Not rated To view the TEA's 2023 ratings, visit Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
