During the recent Aldine Independent School District (ISD) Board Meeting, excitement filled the room as officials celebrated the district's impressive performance in the 2023-2024 Texas school rankings released by Children at Risk.

Among the honorees was Avila's P-TECH School, whose principal, Steven Hetty, and team were invited to the podium to share in the celebration. The recognition of these schools is particularly significant as it reflects the district's efforts to support economically disadvantaged students, with a 50% increase in the number of gold ribbon schools—high-performing campuses serving low-income students—since last year.

Despite these achievements, the report also revealed that only 17% of low-income schools in Texas meet the high-quality threshold, underscoring the ongoing challenges in the education system. The rankings, which evaluated 1,502 public schools in the Houston area across various performance metrics, serve as a reminder of the work still needed to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
