NCISD Schools Recognized as High Performing Schools
Three schools at New Caney ISD have been recognized by the National Center for Educational Achievement as part of its 2009 Just for the Kids Campaign for Higher Performing Schools in Texas.
The schools are:
Kings Manor Elementary in Mathematics
New Caney Elementary in Mathematics, Writing, Science
New Caney High School in Social Studies
NCEA used two measures in the analysis for this recognition: growth and college and career readiness (CCR). Schools recognized for growth achieved better improvement rates for their students compared with other schools with similar demographics. Schools recognized for CCR are the top five percent of schools in the state, based on the percentage of students scoring at or above NCEA’s College and Career Readiness Targets.
NCEA will release its full list of Just for the Kids Higher Performing Schools in Texas on its web site, www.nc4ea.org, later in January to coincide with events in Austin, Houston, and Dallas. Each event will include a recognition ceremony for schools included in NCEA's Just for the Kids Higher Performing Schools Campaign, as well as feature keynote speakers, presentations, and panels discussing the importance of College and Career Readiness for all Texas students.
