Green Valley Elementary Recognized
Green Valley Elementary Recognized as a 2011 NCEA Higher Performing School
The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA), a department of ACT, Inc., recognized Green Valley Elementary as a 2011 NCEA Higher Performing School. Green Valley received Higher Performing (HP) recognition in the following area:
Higher performing in both Commended and growth in writing.
The Higher Performing Schools (formerly known as Just for the Kids Schools) are identified by two measures: consistent improvement in student achievement from previous years (growth) and/or absolute student achievement using the school’s Commended Performance results on the spring 2009-2011 TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) test. NCEA’s higher performing methodology controls for school and student demographics to allow for an apples-to-apples comparison of school achievement and to demonstrate that with the commitment of educators, all schools can have success no matter the zip code. NCEA provided award certificates to each Higher Performing School and the district.
