RESEARCH & ACCOUNTABILITY

Beliefs

The La Porte ISD Research and Accountability department believes our charge is to support teachers, school leaders, and families as we prepare our students for a world and workforce which is rapidly changing. Preparing all students for college and careers can only be achieved through comprehensive and diagnostic accountability measures to enable priority allocation of district resources.

Guiding Principles

• School accountability should be built around rigorous academic standards, measuring student progress against those standards, and helping to make decisions and target resources to help students achieve.

• Assessments administered to students should be streamlined, meaningful and drive improved outcomes for students.

• Federal Title programs and other grants help provide valuable resources for students including academic, socio-emotional, safety and security, and other needs.
