Spruce, Samuell and Comstock May Be Named Academically Unacceptable for 4th Year
DALLAS-The community is invited to participate in town hall meetings scheduled next week at three Dallas schools that may be rated Academically Unacceptable by the Texas Education Agency for the fourth consecutive year.
The schools that may be rated Academically Unacceptable are H. Grady Spruce High School, W.W. Samuell High School and E.B. Comstock Middle School.
A rating of Academically Unacceptable indicates that the campus did not meet state passing standards on defined indicators including TAKS passing rate, dropout rate and/or graduation rate.
As a result of this rating, the district is required to submit a contingency plan to the Texas Education Agency that provides details on how the district will improve the learning conditions at the campus and maintain compliance with the state mandate.
The district will host meetings for parents/guardians, students, staff and community members to provide information about the contingency plans and gather input about those plans.
The meetings will be held as follows:
Parents, students, staff, and community members who have questions or concerns prior to the meeting should call the school directly or call (972) 925-5555.
