Two Hays schools need improvement: District forming plan to make changes

Below grade state accountability ratings for two Hays CISD campuses is forcing district officials to start the planning process on how to improve them.

Science Hall and Hemphill elementary schools were both listed as “Improvement Required,” according to the 2017 Texas Education Agency accountability reports, which were released earlier this summer.

TEA’s accountability report gives ratings to districts and individual campuses based on four factors that “combine a range of indicators into a comprehensive measure of performance,” according to the 2017 TEA accountability manual.
