Van ISD shows TSI pass rates above region and state; board hears A–F accountability context
Summary
District staff presented TSI (college‑placement) and A–F accountability results: Van High School outperformed region and state on TSI math and reading; presenters explained why statewide letter grades shifted and how domains (achievement, progress, closing the gaps) are calculated.
District staff presented recent college‑readiness (TSI) and A–F accountability data, highlighting local strengths and aspects that require continued attention. The presenter noted that TSI is a college‑placement assessment distinct from STAR, and that Van ISD outperformed the region and state on the most recent TSI pass rates.
"For the district, for 22‑23, what you're seeing is 48 percent — 48 percent of students passed the reading assessment..." the presenter said while reviewing state and regional comparisons. On math, the district's TSI pass rate was reported at about 37.7%, which the presenter contrasted with regional and state figures around 21% and 19.9% respectively. Trustees were also given a walkthrough of the A–F methodology: domain 1 (student achievement), domain 2 (school progress), and domain 3 (closing the gaps), and how economically disadvantaged and emergent bilingual percentages influence relative performance distributions and comparison groups.
