CHILDREN AT RISK

Message to Parents CHILDREN AT RISK is pleased to share the Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools with you. We hope that this resource will serve as an important tool as you and your child navigate the public school system in the Dallas ISD area. Because education is one of the most important influences in setting your child on the right path for future success, it is important to find the school that is the best fit for your child. That may look different for different students, and can include certain athletic programs, course offerings, learning styles or a variety of other factors. At CHILDREN AT RISK, we know that there are many quality options for public education available from neighborhood schools, charter schools, and schools with magnet programs. Dallas is proud to claim the number one high school in the state, but two Dallas high schools also landed in the bottom ten schools across the state. Therefore, it can be difficult to understand the true quality of your student’s school, and what you can do to ensure your child receives the best education possible. We hope that Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools will provide you with the information you need to make the best school decision for your child. We look forward to providing this resource annually and welcome your feedback to help us make this resource as helpful to parents as possible. Sincerely,

Jaime Hanks Meyers Managing Director, North Texas CHILDREN AT RISK

Introduction: How to Use This Guide Parents today are faced with a myriad of choices in public education, including traditional public schools, magnet schools and programs, and charter schools. Each option comes with its own system to navigate, and some also involve a complex application process. CHILDREN AT RISK has developed Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools to serve as a one-stop-shop for parents as they navigate these systems. Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools has three main goals. We hope to empower parents to: 1. Understand How Local Schools are Performing 2. Become Aware of their School Options 3. Become Advocates for High Quality Public Schools The Parent Action Guides contain helpful information and tips on early childhood education, higher education, school choice, and parent advocacy to help parents navigate the decision-making process. The school profiles included in this guide provide detailed demographic, performance and school asset data, when available, on the public schools in Dallas ISD, as well as information on independent charter schools that fall within the district zip codes. In the school profile section you will see a letter grade associated with each school that will read: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F or Not Available (NA) You will also see school rankings that indicate how well the school is performing in comparison to other schools in the state. Each school’s profile will include their ranking out of the total number of schools ranked for that grade level in Texas. State Ranking: Individual School Ranking / Total Schools Ranked for that Grade Level across the State If you find that your school is not ranked or graded highly, we encourage you to visit the Parent Action Guides to understand your options and what steps you might take. In some cases, you may find a charter school that better meets your needs, or you might find that you are eligible for a within-district transfer. You might also decide that changing schools is not the best option for you and your child.

You can view all of this information online at TexasSchoolGuide.org and search for schools based on various characteristics: school type, grade level, school assets or programs, and distance. It is important to remember that many factors contribute to making a school a good fit for your child. Only you can decide what is most important when making that decision. Regardless of your choice, we hope that Texas School Guide: A Parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools can provide the resources and data you need along your journey!

PARENT ACTION GUIDES What Are My School Choice Options?

What Are My School Choice Options? What Is School Choice? School choice is choosing a school for your child based on the qualities of the school and your child’s needs, rather than on your home address. While school choice options vary from district to district, parents do have alternatives to the traditional neighborhood school the district assigns your child to attend. When considering other public school options for your child, you may consider charter schools as well as magnet schools and programs. No type of school is inherently superior, and to determine which school is right for your child, you must research the individual schools. CHILDREN AT RISK gives a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F to schools throughout the state of Texas, with schools with an A letter grade being the highest performing. For the purpose of Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools, the schools’ letter grades have been further differentiated with pluses or minuses to give parents a more in depth look at school quality. Schools with letter grades in the A, B, or C range are considered acceptable options for student success. CHILDREN AT RISK considers D and F schools to be of lower quality and underperforming in some areas. If your child is attending a traditional neighborhood school that is lower performing, you may want to consider what other options you have. Options include transferring your child to a different school within the district, applying to a magnet program, opting for a charter school, or improving the quality of your child’s current school from within.

Parents do have alternatives to the traditional neighborhood school the district assigns your child to attend

These options are described in greater detail in this section: • Visiting a School: Questions to Ask and Things to Look For • Understanding Your Options: What are Neighborhood Schools, Charter Schools, Magnet Schools, and Private Schools? • Transfer Options within Dallas ISD • Charter School Options and the Application Process • Magnet Schools / Program Options and the Application Process • Career Academies and Pathways at Dallas ISD High Schools

Visiting a School If you choose to send your child to another school, you should visit the individual campuses and consider what matters most to you and your family. Here is a list of questions to ask, as well as important things to look for when visiting a school:

8 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

Questions to Ask When Visiting a School • What is the school’s mission? The mission statement is usually a summary statement of the school’s values and purpose. • What is the school’s approach to safety and discipline? • How does the school monitor student progress? • What strategies do teachers use to teach students with limited English proficiency? • How do students get to school? Is bus transportation available? • Are free or reduced-price meals offered? • What extracurricular opportunities are available for students? • How do fine arts fit into the curriculum? • What rules and systems are most important in classrooms? • Are there opportunities for parents to get involved? • What systems are in place for students that are struggling? • What is the typical class size? What is the maximum class size? • If a child is excelling academically, are there advanced courses or enrichment programs? • How is technology used to support teaching and learning? • What are the school’s greatest accomplishments? • What are the school’s greatest challenges? • How do teachers communicate with parents? • Are parent-teacher conferences scheduled regularly throughout the year? • What is the student attrition rate? The student attrition rate represents the numbers of students dropping out. • What is the teacher attrition rate? The teacher attrition rate represents the number of teachers leaving the school.

Things to Look For When Visiting a School • Do teachers interact with their students in a positive manner? • Do classrooms look cheerful? • Are the students well-behaved as they transition in the hallways and play outside? • Do the school’s administrators interact positively with students, teachers, and parents? • Are the classrooms, hallways, restrooms, and outside areas of the school clean and well maintained? • Are students adequately supervised by school personnel? • Do students engage with each other in a positive way? • Are the teachers keeping students engaged and thinking critically?

CHILDREN AT RISK

WHAT ARE MY SCHOOL CHOICE OPTIONS? cont.

Understanding Your Options What Are Neighborhood Schools? A neighborhood school is the school that a child is assigned to based on their home address, and according to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries and attendance zones. Dallas ISD provides a resource that allows you to enter your home address and identify your neighborhood school: www.dallasisd.org/Page/22686. These boundaries change frequently, so you should call your school to confirm which neighborhood school your child has been assigned to before enrolling.

What Are Charter Schools? Charter schools are public schools that operate independently of local school districts. They are tuition-free and publicly funded by local, state, and federal dollars. In addition, charter schools also receive private donations. Charter schools are open to any student within a specified region that wishes to apply. Because applications exceed the space available at charter schools, many charter schools use a lottery system to determine enrollment. Although charter schools are subject to the same rules and regulations as traditional public schools, they generally enjoy greater flexibility. For example, some charter schools have a longer school day and school year than traditional schools.

What Are Magnet Schools / Programs? Magnet schools are public schools of choice that are either run by a school district or a group of school districts. These schools are named magnet schools because they tend to draw students from different attendance zone boundaries. The curriculum of a magnet school or program is aligned to a particular focus area, such as Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM), performing arts, leadership, or certain career paths. These programs require an application, and some are selective while others use a lottery system. Because magnet schools and programs are specialized, they are able to offer a more intensive education in their focus area than traditional public schools. Some magnet programs are housed within traditional public schools, while others are housed on their own campus. In some cases, several magnet programs are housed together on one campus.

What Are Private Schools? Private schools are schools that are not supported by the government, but rather receive their funding from individuals or a private organization. Private schools usually require students to pay tuition. The application process is similar to the college application process and includes applications, admission tests, interviews, financial aid applications, etc. Private schools can have a religious affiliation or be independent. Although this guide does not profile private schools, they are one of the available options for parents in the Dallas area.

Transfer Options within Dallas ISD While students in Dallas ISD are zoned to a particular school, they may apply for transfers to other schools that better match their interests or needs if they meet the eligibility requirements listed below. However, all transfers are subject to approval and space availability. It is also important to note that if a student transfers away from his or her assigned school, the district does not provide transportation.

The three main ways for students to transfer include: 1. Student Transfers: Initiated because of student/family needs 2. Public Education Grant (PEG) Transfers: Initiated because of the school’s performance 3. Out-of-District Transfers: Initiated because an out-of-district student wants to attend a Dallas ISD school There are application deadlines associated with each of these transfer options so be sure to check the most current deadlines by visiting the Dallas ISD website or by contacting your school or the district directly.

Student Transfers The first type of transfer is defined as a “Student Transfer.” A student may submit a transfer request to attend the nearest Dallas ISD school that offers a program or course that the neighborhood school does not offer, or to attend another Dallas ISD school if the student cannot attend the neighborhood school due to personal or family circumstances. For example, if the student is interested in a program like the ROTC, but the neighborhood school does not offer that program, the student may apply for a transfer to another district school that offers a ROTC program. Another example is a “hardship transfer.” A hardship might be if a parent works far away from their child’s neighborhood school, and would find it difficult to get back to that school quickly in case of an emergency. The typical transfer window for this type of transfer is early January to early March, and the transfer application will need to be repeated every year if the child wishes to remain at the school.

The process for this transfer includes: • A parent needs to first contact the new school’s principal to obtain an approval for a transfer. If the principal accepts the transfer, he or she will sign the transfer request application. • Once the principal of the new school approves the transfer, the transfer application needs to be signed by the principal of the student’s neighborhood school. • Finally, submit the transfer application for approval to the Student Transfer Office at Dallas ISD (see contact information below). Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

CHILDREN AT RISK

WHAT ARE MY SCHOOL CHOICE OPTIONS? cont.

• If the Student Transfer Office denies the application, the parent may file an appeal and present his or her case to a committee. The appeal will usually take place towards the end of the school year. In order to file an appeal, contact the Student Transfer Office directly. Student Transfer Office 2617 North Henderson Ave. Portable 1 Dallas, Texas 75206 Office: (972) 749-5720 Fax: (972) 749-5724

PEG Transfers The second type of transfer is related to school performance. Students attending Public Education Grant (PEG) designated schools are eligible to transfer to a different school. PEG schools are low-performing schools where 50% or more of the students did not pass any of the TAKS/STAAR subjects in two of the preceding three years, or schools that were recently rated Academically Unacceptable by the Texas Education Agency. Every year, districts must notify the parents of a student in a PEG-designated school of the school’s PEG status by February 1st. If your child is zoned to a PEG school they can transfer to a select number of public schools. A list of current PEGdesignated schools can be downloaded at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/peg_2013-14/. This list is updated annually, so it is important to visit the website to see the most recent list of eligible schools.

Out-of-District Transfers The third type of transfer is an out-of-district transfer. Students who live outside of the district, but want to attend a district school may be eligible for an out of district transfer. You can download the Out-of-District Form from the district’s website at www. dallasisd.org/Page/100.

Charter School Options and the Application Process Any student residing in Dallas ISD is eligible to apply to the charter schools listed below, though this list is not exhaustive. Some charter schools also allow for students outside of the district to apply, but priority may be given to those residing within the district. Most charter schools operate on a lottery system. This means that the school uses a random selection process to pick its students. If your child is on a charter schools waiting list, it may help to follow up with the school to let the school know that you are interested in getting off the waiting list if space becomes available. While many applications can be submitted online, the process depends on the school. In addition, some schools require supplemental documents or an interview/audition. Visit the school’s website to learn more about the current deadlines and application procedures.

WHAT ARE MY SCHOOL CHOICE OPTIONS? cont.

Career Academies and Pathways Career Academies and Pathways, which serve to prepare students for college and careers, are specialized programs that are offered at comprehensive Dallas ISD high schools. A Career Academy is run on a school within a school model and comprised of approximately 75-150 students. The Academies offer a personalized learning environment where students have the same core and career themed teachers. The programs also include relationships with local business, community and higher education organizations to enhance the applied aspect of the Career Academy Program. A Career Pathway is a program that allows students to take a series of elective courses that are focused around a pathway career theme. These targeted programs provide students extensive knowledge and skills which lead to a certificate, degree, and/or career. These programs are open to all students, but in order to enroll in a program outside of one’s feeder pattern the student must be approved by the receiving school principal. To find out what feeder pattern your school is located in please visit the District’s website http://www.dallasisd.org/Page/3201. Applications are available from the school counselor, the website, or the Academy and Pathway Showcase which is typically held in December. For a list of updated deadlines visit the district’s website at http://www.dallasisd.org/Page/18562, or contact the district directly.

PARENT ACTION GUIDES How Can I Get Involved at My Child’s School?

How Can I Get Involved at My Child’s School? Parent involvement is a leading factor in student success and outcomes. Students with involved parents are more likely than their peers with uninvolved parents to earn better grades, attend school regularly, have positive attitudes about school, and be better behaved. As a result, parents can help their children succeed by becoming an education advocate. Taking the time to be involved in your child’s education not only allows you to ensure your child is receiving the quality education he or she deserves, but also shows your student how important their academic success is to your family. Advocating for your child’s education means making sure that your child is getting the very best education possible.

In this section you can learn how to: • Build relationships with people at your child’s school. • Join parent organizations on campus. • Get involved with decision making at your child’s school. • Find your School Board Representative. • Access services provided by community organizations.

Building Relationships The first step to becoming an advocate for your child’s education is to form relationships with teachers, counselors, coaches, and administrators at your child’s school. Forming these relationships early in your child’s time at school will make you feel comfortable going to these people when problems or questions come up.

The first step to becoming an advocate for your child’s education is to form relationships

If you have felt frustrated and do not understand the school process, or just have not had the opportunity to form these relationships, here are some great ways to get started: • Attend school events when you are able, such as open houses, performances or award ceremonies. • Join district groups, such as the School Health Advisory Council that focuses on health and nutrition policies within the district. • Join parent groups or organizations at your child’s school. • Get involved in after school programs that your child is involved in. • Get involved with the Site Based Decision Making Committee at your child’s school. • Volunteer with the school or in your child’s classroom. • Vote in the School Board of Trustees election. • Request a conference with your child’s teacher, counselor, or school administrator. If you work during the school day, you can request a conference at a time that works for you. 22 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

Outside of attending events and direct contact with the school, you can advocate for your child by communicating the importance of education. You can do this by: • Making sure your child attends school regularly. • Making sure your child does their homework. • Making sure your child gets to school on time. • Regularly checking your child’s progress through Parent Portal to identify any problems early. • Regularly checking your child’s progress through Parent Portal to identify any problems early. On Parent Portal you have access to many school related indicators, including your student’s grades, homework assignments, and teacher contact information. Learn more about Parent Portal at Dallas ISD by visiting http://www. dallasisd.org/parentportal.

Parent Groups and Organizations Parent Teacher Associations (PTA’s), Parent Teacher Student Associations (PTSA’s), and Parent Teacher Organizations (PTO’s) engage and empower parents to become advocates for their children. Although these organizations have similar missions, the PTA is connected to a local, state, or national association, while the PTO is specific to an individual school campus. Many parent organizations keep parents involved and informed about what is going on at school. This might include organizing a school fundraiser, working with teachers or providing parent trainings on how to get involved at school. If you are interested in getting involved in these organizations, contact your school’s office about how to join. If your school does not currently have a PTA, PTSA or a PTO, you can start one. Organizing a Parent Teacher Association: Any school official, parent or interested person can organize a PTA. First, gain the support of your school principal or superintendent, and multiple teachers. For more information about organizing a new local PTA, contact the Director of Member Services, Mary Jo Burgess, mjburgess@txpta.org or 1-800-TALK-PTA or visit their website at www.txpta.org. Organizing a Parent Teacher Organization: To start a PTO, organize a group of interested people, agree on a common goal, and start working together to make it happen. Examples include running an ice cream social for parents, students and teachers to get to know one another, or a school fundraiser to raise money. Because every PTO is an independent organization, bylaws vary by organization. Learn more about organizing a PTO at www. ptotoday.com. Note that some PTA’s and PTO’s have small membership fees.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED AT MY CHILD’S SCHOOL? cont.

Site Based Decision Making Committee If you are interested in getting involved in the decision making that goes on at your child’s campus, you might consider joining your school’s Site Based Decision Making (SBDM) Committee. SBDM Committees are school based meetings that include teachers, administrators, community leaders and parents and are open to the public. Even if parents are not part of the committee, attending a SBDM meeting is a good way to meet school officials and learn about the latest updates at your child’s school. Contact your school directly to learn more about SBDM.

Dallas ISD Board of Trustees The Dallas School Board includes nine trustees that are elected by residents of the individual districts and serve for a three-year term. Trustees have a variety of responsibilities including establishing school operational policies, hiring the Superintendent of Schools, allocating financial and human resources, and evaluating school performance. You can learn more about the Dallas ISD’s board policy online at http://pol.tasb.org/ Home/Index/361. To find out which district your school is located in, visit http://www. dallasisd.org/domain/447.

Below is a list of the current board representatives. • District • District • District • District • District • District • District • District • District

1: Elizabeth Jones (Term Expires 2015) 2: Mike Morath (Term Expires 2014) 3: Dan Micciche (Term Expires 2015) 4: Nancy Bingham (Term Expires 2016) 5: Lew Blackburn (Term Expires 2016) 6: Carla Ranger (Term Expires 2014) 7: Eric Cowan (Term Expires 2016) 8: Miguel Solis (Term Expires 2014) 9: Bernadette Nutall (Term Expires 2015)

If you have concerns about your child’s school, first contact the school’s principal. If you are unable to resolve your concerns with the principal, you may contact the Board Services Department. Parents can also file a formal appeal against the decision of a principal. If you would like to file a formal appeal, use the following form, located under Policy FNG (Exhibit) on the online Board Policy server at http://pol.tasb.org/ Policy/Download/361?filename=FNG(XHIBIT).pdf.

Community Organizations Local community centers, churches, and nonprofit organizations are important resources for parent involvement. Some organizations offer parent trainings that can help you learn how to request and have successful conferences with teachers, counselors and school administrators. Here is a brief list of organizations that are working with students and parents in the community:

26 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

PARENT ACTION GUIDES Early Childhood Education (Ages 0-5)

Early Childhood Education (Ages 0-5)

Deciding on a childcare or preschool program for your child can be a daunting and stressful task. There are many issues to consider including quality, location, cost, and hours of operation. Fortunately, many of these issues can be resolved with a quick phone call or visit to the program’s website. Unfortunately, quality, the main concern for parents, requires more effort.

Why is Early Childhood Education Important? The first five years of a child’s life are the most important in brain development. During this time, children acquire knowledge at a more rapid rate than at any other period in their life. Children who attend high quality early education programs are more likely to: be ready for kindergarten, score better on standardized tests, go to college, and have higher paying jobs as adults. A supportive and engaging early childhood education program is important because it starts infants and toddlers on the path to success.

What Should You Look For in a Childcare or Preschool Program? Early childhood education programs such as pre-kindergarten and academically focused childcare set children up to be successful students before they ever step into a kindergarten classroom. These programs should provide children with developmentally appropriate instruction in vocabulary, early literacy, phonemic awareness, math, and many other areas that students often struggle with during their elementary years. In addition, these programs should also help children to become more comfortable with routine and structure. Licensed childcare facilities are monitored and regulated by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The state routinely inspects these facilities and enforces basic health and safety standards. Records of the state’s inspections are publicly available at www.dontbeinthedark.org. In addition, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) accredits and certifies centers. The NAEYC standards are much higher than the state’s minimum standards. A list of centers accredited by NAEYC is available at www.naeyc.org/academy/accreditation/ search. After checking the program’s accreditation status and the state’s records for violations and compliance, you should visit the center to gain a better sense of both the physical and emotional environment.

28 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

Visiting the Center During your visit, plan to spend 20-30 minutes talking to staff and observing their morning or afternoon routines (circle time, book reads, and center time are the best times to observe). If possible, avoid visiting during meal and nap times as you will be less likely to see the quality of learning activities between the staff and children. Things to pay attention to include:

During your visit, plan to spend 20-30 minutes talking to staff and observing their morning or afternoon routines

Physical Environment: Classrooms and areas for children should be open and visible from any other point within the classroom. This ensures that the teachers can always see your child and make sure that your child is not at risk for injury or participating in unsafe activities. Age appropriate materials such as alphabet posters, letter walls, calendars, and weather and reading charts should be at your child’s eye level (not near the ceiling or at an adult’s eye level). For classrooms serving children three years and older, look for evidence of: writing (both children’s and teacher’s), sorting, counting, as well as number, letter and word recognition. These are all good signs that the program is working on academic enrichment activities. Emotional Environment: Students should feel safe to share their thoughts and feelings in the classroom. The classroom should not be a place for unkind words, bullying, or verbal abuse, as these are detrimental to the child’s well-being and social development. Ask staff specifically about their discipline policies. Also watch how staff members relate to one another and to the children both in and out of the classroom.

Teacher Qualifications Ask teachers and staff about their qualifications. You are trusting your child to their program and have the right to make sure they are qualified and capable professionals. Early childhood teachers should have formal training in the field of early childhood education so that they may adequately provide the instruction and care that your child deserves. The state of Texas requires a high school diploma or GED, 24 hours of preservice training, and 24 hours of annual continuing education for early childcare professionals. Suggested teacher trainings include classes on curriculum, safety practices, first aid, and emergency preparedness. Below are the most common qualifications for early childhood instructors. • Early Childhood Associates Degree / Child Development Associates Degree from an accredited program: teachers holding this degree have spent two years acquiring knowledge on how to provide the appropriate environment and curriculum to children in their classroom. • Bachelor’s Degree in Education (or another field) with a teaching certificate from Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

CHILDREN AT RISK

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION cont.

the state specifying an Early Childhood qualification: teachers holding this degree and certification have rigorous training in classroom management, curriculum, and at least one semester of practicum in a classroom under the observation of a mentor teacher.

Other Things to Consider and Ask About: • Waiting lists: Many early childhood programs have waiting lists and a registration process, including a non-refundable deposit. • Food menus: Some programs ask parents to provide the food for their child, while others offer meals and snacks. For those that serve food, menus should be available to give you an example of the types of foods being served. If parents are expected to provide meals and snacks, ask how the food is stored throughout the day (refrigerator or at room temperature) so you know what you should pack. • Time spent on the playground: Children should spend 30-45 minutes on the playground in the morning and afternoon (weather permitting). • Screen time (TV and Computers): It is recommended that screen time be limited to no more than one to two hours per day for children over two years of age. • Childcare assistance: Families meeting specific requirements (financial and other factors) are eligible for childcare assistance. Check with your local workforce solutions office to see if you qualify for childcare assistance. To locate your local workforce solutions office, go to www.twc.state.tx.us/dirs/wdas/directory-officesservices.html.

PARENT ACTION GUIDES Preparing for Post-Secondary Education (High School Students)

Preparing for Post-Secondary Education (High School Students) There are many options for higher education in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, including four-year colleges, two-year colleges, and trade schools. An advanced degree or certification can create employment opportunities that may not be available to those with only a high school diploma. It is important to set expectations for post-secondary education, or continued education after high school, early so that children are encouraged to set goals that help them obtain those degrees. In this section you will learn more about: • Post-Secondary Education Opportunities in the Area • The Application Process • Financial Aid Resources • How Students Can Stay on Track with a High School Timeline

An advanced degree or certification can create employment opportunities

Post-Secondary Education Opportunities in the Area It is helpful to be knowledgeable about the different opportunities for post-secondary education early in your child’s high school career. This way you can make sure that you do not miss important application deadlines, required high school courses for particular programs, or other steps that must be taken prior to admittance into a higher education program.

If your child intends to pursue higher education, you may want to consider the rigor of the high school they attend. High schools that provide good preparation for college should offer an academically challenging curriculum, a college-bound culture, and a support system for navigating college admissions. Indicators of these characteristics can include: • Wide offering of advanced courses like Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and/or Honors courses • High rate of students taking the SAT or ACT exams • Available and knowledgeable guidance counselors

Applications Most post-secondary tracks require some kind of application. Community colleges have an open-door admissions policy, which means that students are admitted regardless of previous academic history. However, parents and students should be advised that students in Texas entering a public college institution, including community colleges, must meet the minimum threshold on the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment unless they are otherwise exempt. If students do not meet this threshold, they may be referred to Adult Basic Education classes, which are noncredit and fee-based, before they are eligible to enroll in college coursework. You can learn more about this requirement at http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/. The Common App and Apply Texas are two widely used application processes for four-year colleges and universities. The Common App is used by hundreds of colleges throughout the United States, and Apply Texas allows students to apply for admission to any Texas public university, as well as to participating community and private colleges. To learn more about which schools accept these applications, application deadlines, and additional information visit the individual sites: • Common App: www.commonapp.org • Apply Texas: www.applytexas.org It is necessary to visit individual websites, or contact the schools directly, to verify the most current application procedures because admissions requirements can vary from school to school.

PREPARING FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION cont.

Financial Aid The costs associated with higher education can be daunting for parents, families and students. However, being aware of financial aid opportunities that are at your disposal can help ease your concerns. Each university or college has their own financial aid program, which may include grant and scholarship opportunities, and there are also opportunities to obtain financial aid through the state and federal government, nonprofit and private organizations. You should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as it will make your student eligible for the largest source of financial aid available. The application becomes available in early January, but deadlines differ by program. You will want to submit the FAFSA as early as possible to make sure that you can take advantage of as many aid opportunities as possible. There are several ways to file the FAFSA: • Online at www.fafsa.gov. • You can download or order a paper FAFSA. • Ask the financial aid office at your student’s college or career school if it can be filed there. Here is a brief look at financial aid opportunities and when you should fill out the FASFA from the Federal Student Aid website: AID PROGRAM

DEADLINE INFORMATION

Federal and State student aid

For the 2013–14 year, you can apply between Jan. 1, 2013, and June 30, 2014. However, there are a few first come, first served federal student aid programs, so be sure to apply as soon as you can. You can also find state deadlines at www.fafsa.gov.

College or career school aid

Check the school’s website or contact its financial aid office. School deadlines are usually early in the year (often in February or March). Furthermore, many schools will offer workstudy programs, which place students into part-time jobs or paid internships as a form of financial assistance.

Other financial aid

Some programs, other than government or school aid, require that you file the FAFSA. For instance, you cannot get certain private scholarships unless you are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant – and you cannot find out whether you are eligible for a Pell Grant unless you file a FAFSA. If the private scholarship’s application deadline is in early to mid – January, you will need to submit your FAFSA before that deadline.

High School Timeline It is important to plan ahead for higher education while your child is still in high school. In order to apply to a four-year university or college, your child will need to take the SAT and/or ACT exam, typically during their junior year of high school. You also should be aware of the admissions requirements of the program(s) your child may wish to attend, so that they will be sure to fulfill all prerequisites during high school. For example, some universities may require more science or math course credits than your child’s high school requires as the minimum. Your child may also need to take elective courses to be adequately prepared for college. 34 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

Here is an example of a timeline that can help students stay on track to obtaining an advanced degree or certification:

Freshman and Sophomore Years • Talk with your assigned guidance counselor about taking college preparatory courses and exploring higher education options. • Start getting involved in extra-curricular activities and keep a record of involvement. • Register and take the Preliminary SAT (PSAT). • Schedule a college tour of an area college to get a feel for what college might be like. These tours are free and you can call the admissions office to schedule a tour at a time that works well for you.

Junior Year • Work with your guidance counselor to establish a list of the higher education options that you are interested in. It may be helpful to consider how long it usually takes students to graduate from that school. You can find more information on college completion rates by campus at completecollege.org. • Begin researching scholarship and financial aid opportunities. • Register and take the SAT and/or ACT exams. • If possible, visit the individual campuses that you will be applying to.

Senior Year • August – September »» Narrow down school options and create a list of application deadlines and required materials, including scholarship and financial aid deadlines, essays, letters of recommendation and transcripts. »» Register or retake SAT and/or ACT exam if necessary. »» Begin thinking about who to request your letters of recommendation from. »» Request transcripts from your high school. • October – November »» Draft any required college admissions or scholarship essays. »» Secure letters of recommendation if required. It is best to request letters of recommendation at least one to two months in advance of the application deadline. This allows the recommender time to complete and submit a quality . recommendation. »» Ensure that your transcripts are accurate. • December – January »» Final application dates for many schools. However, note that early decision applications are typically due in November.

CHILDREN AT RISK

• February – March »» College acceptance letters begin to arrive. »» Parents need to file taxes to prepare for filling out the FAFSA. Remember to complete the FAFSA by the priority deadline. • April – May »» Review your admissions information and submit any required materials to the college or program of your choice. This may include housing information, final transcripts, a potential deposit, etc.

METHODOLOGY GLOSSARY APPENDIX

Methodology Guide Organization The school profiles are organized by zones. These zones were developed by grouping high school feeder patterns into geographically meaningful areas. Within each zone, schools are organized by grade level: elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. This allows parents to view school profiles that are located in the same area, and better understand how local schools are performing in comparison with one another.

School Profiles The schools profiled in this guide include all Dallas ISD public schools, including magnet campuses, and charter schools located in the same zip codes as the district schools. Disciplinary Alternative Education Programs and private schools are excluded from the school profiles. All contact information and data from the Campus Profile and Report Card sections come directly from the Texas Education Agency. Note that while the CHILDREN AT RISK Graduation Rate utilizes data from the Texas Education Agency, it is specifically calculated by CHILDREN AT RISK. See the definitions below for further clarification.

School Rankings and Letter Grades The numerical rankings and letter grades come from CHILDREN AT RISK’s 2013 Public School Rankings. To rank public schools across Texas, CHILDREN AT RISK compiles and analyzes the latest data collected by the Texas Education Agency. CHILDREN AT RISK utilizes a diverse array of indicators, holding schools accountable for performance on standardized testing in addition to other measures such as performance on college entrance exams, participation in advanced coursework, and graduation rates. Much like the methodology used by other institutions to rank higher education programs (e.g., MBA programs and law schools), CHILDREN AT RISK’s method uses the z-score statistic to standardize the data compared to all campuses across the state and compute a ranking. • SCHOOL RANKINGS: CHILDREN AT RISK’s 2013 Public School Rankings, ranked a total of 7,070 schools across the State. Each school’s profile will include their ranking out of the total number of schools ranked for that grade level in Texas. »» State Ranking: Individual School Ranking / Total Schools Ranked for that Grade Level Across the State • LETTER GRADES: All schools were assigned a letter grade, based on their weighted composite z-score. In order to create cut-off scores for each letter grade, dummy schools were created that represent the minimum performing school for each 226 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

letter grade level. The dummy schools were put into the rankings calculations to see what their z-scores would be as compared to the included schools, and these z-scores were used as the cut-offs for each letter grade. Once schools were assigned a general letter grade, A, B, and C grades were further differentiated into plus / minus grades. The range of z-scores for each letter grade was divided evenly into thirds. The top third of z-scores became “plus” grades and the bottom third of z-scores became “minus” grades. In this guide, you will see the following grades: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F, or Not Available (NA).

CHILDREN AT RISK utilizes a diverse array of indicators, holding schools accountable for performance

The Indicators CAMPUS PROFILE: • Race/Ethnicity: The percentage of students in each category of ethnicity or race. • Economically Disadvantaged Students: The percentage of students that are economically disadvantaged, i.e., coded as eligible for free or reduced-pric lunch or eligible for other public assistance. • Total Enrollment: The total number of students enrolled at that campus. • Special Education Students: The percentage of students served by programs for students with disabilities. • Student - Teacher Ratio: The number of students at the school divided by the number of teachers at the school. This indicator represents the number of students for every one teacher at the school. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS: • Advanced Courses: The percentage of students in grades 9-12 who received credit for at least one advanced course (including Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, dual Enrollment, and others). • CHILDREN AT RISK Graduation Rate: The percentage of first time freshmen who graduated from any public high school in Texas within four, five, or six years of entering ninth grade. • Average Class Size: The average number of students in a 3rd grade classroom at that campus. The Texas Education Agency defines the allowable class size limit for grades kindergarten through four to be 22 pupils, though campuses may request an exception. • Math Gains Score: The average gain or loss on normal curve equivalent score on all Math state standardized tests taken by students at a particular campus, compared to the same students’ performance on all Math state standardized tests the year before. The gains score is only calculated for students who took tests at the same campus for two consecutive years. • Reading Gains Score: The average gain or loss on normal curve equivalent score on all Reading state standardized tests taken by students at a particular campus, compared to the same students’ performance on all Reading state standardized Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

METHODOLOGY cont.

tests the year before. The gains score is only calculated for students who took tests at the same campus for two consecutive years. • SAT Score: The average score for all students taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). • Graduates Taking SAT/ACT: The percentage of graduates that have taken either the ACT or the SAT college admissions exam. • STAAR Advanced Math: The percentage of 4th or 8th grade students who achieved “Level III-Advanced” on the Mathematics section of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination. • STAAR Advanced Reading: The percentage of 4th or 8th grade students who achieved “Level III-Advanced” on the English/Language Arts (ELA) section of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) examination. • TAKS Commended Math: The percentage of 10th grade students who achieved “Commended Performance” on the Mathematics section of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) examination. • TAKS Commended Reading: The percentage of 10th grade students who achieved “Commended Performance” on the English/Language Arts (ELA) section of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) examination.

The Performance Scale To classify performance on the Report Card, statewide data was used to calculate quartiles for each indicator. • 3+ Above Average: The school’s indicator for that category scored in the top 25% statewide. • 3 Average: The school’s indicator for that category scored in the middle 50% statewide. • 3- Below Average: The school’s indicator scored in the bottom 25% statewide. Any field labeled “NA” indicates that data was unavailable from the Texas Education Agency at the time of publication. Download the full CHILDREN AT RISK 2013 Public School Rankings methodology at TexasSchoolGuide.org.

School Assets In September 2013, CHILDREN AT RISK conducted a survey to identify the different programs, or “school assets,” available on individual campuses. An online survey was emailed to the school principal designated in the Texas Education Agency’s Texas Education Directory. The survey was emailed three times, and if no response was gathered CHILDREN AT RISK staff members conducted follow-up phone calls to the individual schools. During those calls, school asset information was collected from a variety of school personnel, including, but not limited to, office managers, assistant principals, and school counselors.

228 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

The school assets that appear in this guide were selected based on information gathered through an online parent survey, a series of three parent focus groups, and information reported in the school survey. While schools were asked to report whether or not they were a magnet school campus, the magnet program identification that appears in the school profiles was generated from the lists on the district’s website. School assets included in the elementary, middle and high school profiles are as follows: • Art Classes • After School Program • Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College/Dual Credit Options • Athletic/Sports Programs • Before School Program • College Counseling • Music Classes • Pre-k Program (Full Day) • Pre-k Program (Half Day) It is important to note that the school asset information has been self-reported by a school representative or staff member, and is subject to change at any time. This survey was viewed as an opportunity for schools to share additional information about the programs available on their campuses. CHILDREN AT RISK understands that not all schools had the time, or the resources to complete this survey. If you are a school administrator and believe that your school’s asset data is incorrect or has not been included in this guide, please visit TexasSchoolGuide.org to update this information. CHILDREN AT RISK will make every effort to include updated and current school asset data at TexasSchoolGuide.org and in the next edition of Texas School Guide: A Parent’s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools.

Glossary of Terms Here is a list of terms that appear in Texas School Guide: A Parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roadmap to Success in Dallas ISD Area Public Schools that may be confusing or new to parents. Please contact us to let us know if you find any other terms confusing and we will be happy to consider defining them in future editions. Advanced Placement Courses (AP): These rigorous courses are a part of the Advanced Placement Program (AP Program) and are offered at many high schools. AP Courses are taught by highly qualified teachers, offer college-level curriculum, and culminate with an AP Exam. Some colleges accept high scores on AP Exams to fulfill college course credits. Charter School (Charter): Charter schools are public schools that operate independently of local school districts. They are tuition-free and open to any student within a specified region that wishes to apply, but frequently use a lottery system for enrollment due to high demand. Early Education (EE): The Texas Education Agency reports the grade levels that are represented at each school. Early Education (EE) is a grade level for students between the ages of zero and five who have not been placed in pre-kindergarten (PK) or kindergarten (KG). This includes students in Head Start programs who do not meet the requirements for state funds. International Baccalaureate (IB): The IB Program is a rigorous, focused curriculum for juniors and seniors in high schools. It offers advanced coursework and, similar to AP, involves subject tests leading to the IB Diploma. The IB Program is recognized by many universities throughout the world. Magnet Schools / Programs: Magnet programs have curriculum that is aligned to a particular focus area, such as Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM), performing arts, leadership, or certain career paths. These programs require an application, and may be selective or use a lottery system. Montessori: Montessori refers to a particular teaching method that focuses on bringing out the natural interests of a child, in contrast to a more uniform teaching method. Nontraditional Public School: For the purpose of this guide, the nontraditional public school label includes schools that offer a specialized curriculum or are designed to meet the needs of a special student population. This includes alternative schools and programs. Post-Secondary Education: Post-secondary education refers to various educational tracks a student can engage in after high school, including two-year colleges, career and technical trade schools and four-year universities and colleges.

230 CHILDREN AT RISK | Texas School Guide: A Parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

Traditional Public School: For the purpose of this guide, the traditional public school label includes all district (i.e., non-charter) schools that offer “traditional” coursework to the general student populations. Traditional public schools include schools that house magnet programs. These schools are typically “neighborhood schools” that students are zoned to based on their home addresses.

Texas School Guide: A Parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roadmap to Success In Dallas ISD Area Public Schools

CHILDREN AT RISK

237

At CHILDREN AT RISK we have taken our annual Public School Rankings and transformed the data into a guiding tool for parents. Texas School Guide allows parents to gauge the true quality of their public school options by searching for schools based on location, grade level, program options, school type, and CHILDREN AT RISK letter grade. If you are unhappy with how your child’s school is performing, don’t forget to visit our Parent Action Guides to find out what steps you can take to ensure your child receives the best education possible. Remember that none of this is possible without YOU - the parents! Please contact us if you want to participate in a parent workshop and learn more about the information in this guide. We also encourage everyone to provide feedback on this project by visiting TexasSchoolGuide.org or contacting CHILDREN AT RISK directly at: CHILDREN AT RISK 3625 N. Hall Street Suite 760 Dallas, TX 75219 (214) 599 – 0072 TexasSchoolGuide@childrenatrisk.org
