Hedley ISD ‘Recognized’ for third year

The Hedley Independent School District maintained its rating as a “Recognized” district in the state’s accountability system this year.

A report in last week’s Enterprise incorrectly stated the school was listed as “Acceptable,” but Hedley was in fact “Recognized” by the Texas Education Agency
for the third year in a row.

The ratings are partly based on Texas Assessment of Knowledge & Skills (TAKS) scores.

On the TAKS across the district, Hedley had 98 percent of students pass the reading/English language arts portion of the test, up from 95 last year; 100 percent in writing, same as last year; 91 percent in social studies, up from 83 percent; 76 percent in mathematics, down from 78 percent; and 74 percent in science, up from 67 percent last year.

“The scores are never as high as we want them to be, but we’re happy that we raised scores in every subject except for math,” HISD Superintendent Eric Hough said.
