PERRYTON ISD maintains B rating; district reports gains in closing achievement gaps
Summary
Curriculum director highlighted the district’s maintained B rating, a 13‑point growth in closing gaps to reach 87, professional development efforts, expansion of dual‑language and STEM offerings, and praise for curriculum staff.
PERRYTON — Perryton ISD’s curriculum and instruction director told the board the district sustained a B accountability rating and reported measurable growth in narrowing achievement gaps among subpopulations.
Miss Tyron, the district’s curriculum lead, said the district maintained its B rating and that the largest gains were in “closing the gaps,” which she said rose 13 points to 87. She described that growth as affecting subpopulations and special‑needs groups and credited teachers and administrators for implementation of curriculum and supplemental resources.
Tyron praised the district’s professional development, including a convocation she described as “truly stellar” and practically useful for classroom teachers. She singled out Claire Simmons and the curriculum‑instruction team for their work implementing materials in the district’s instructional technology systems.
Tyron also highlighted program expansions: the dual‑language program added fifth grade this year, and the district’s STEM lab now supports robotics, hardware construction and hands‑on projects. She said a future project is to secure funding for a student hovercraft project. Tyron praised Shelly, a dyslexia teacher, and said the district’s dyslexia supports have been important for students with severe dyslexia.
