-Student Achievement evaluates performance across all subjects for all students, on both general and alternate assessments; College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) indicators; and graduation rates. (Texas Education Agency, 2022) 
-School Progress measures district and campus outcomes in two areas: the students that grew at least one year academically (or are on track) as measured by STAAR results and the achievement of all students relative to districts or campuses with similar economically
disadvantaged percentages. (Texas Education Agency, 2022)

-Closing the Gaps uses disaggregated data to demonstrate differentials among racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds and other factors. The indicators included in this domain, as
well as the domain’s construction, align the state accountability system with Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). (Texas Education Agency, 2022)]]> 2022-12-07 04:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ccephus/87pxkd3cd6qr3951/wish/2411640596 Slide #9 Ethical Principle: ccephus https://padlet.com/ccephus/87pxkd3cd6qr3951/wish/2411644839 The applicant will submit such reports to TEA (which shall make the reports available to the governor) and the US
Secretary of Education, as TEA and the US Secretary of Education may require to enable TEA and the US
Secretary of Education to perform their duties under each such program. 

ESSA requires states to hold schools accountable for how students achieve. This means each state is responsible for having a plan in place to identify schools that are underperforming. In other words, it’s a way for states to know how students are faring.

Districts are making strives to ensure that students need are being met but in my professional opinion we are still missing some of our struggling student. From administration to the community we are still not closing the gap fast enough. Overall, we are making progress but congress and local districts needs to still refine some of the policies that are in place to ensure that it is continuance push for academic success for all students. (Klein, 2020) "The purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close educational achievement gaps." With this in mind I also believe that the high school drop-out rate will decrease and the graduation rate will increase.
