La Vega Elementary School Receives Prestigious Award for the Third Year La Vega Elementary School has received the honor of celebrating with schools who have achieved the highest levels of academic excellence in Texas. This is the third consecutive year that La Vega Elementary School has earned this honor. The Texas Business & Education Coalition (TBEC) Honor Roll recognizes schools for academic performance, and honors those students, teachers, principals, and superintendents who have won their championships in the classroom. TBEC identifies Honor Roll schools by analyzing three years of performance data for every public school in Texas. A TBEC Honor Roll school must have a high percentage of students meeting state standards on every TAKS test for three consecutive years. That's the easy part; TBEC Honor Roll schools also have the highest percentage of students performing at the state's most rigorous standard, which is commended in every subject. The selection criteria also considers the school's demographics, number of subjects tested and grade levels. Compared to other schools with similar demographics, TBEC Honor Roll schools have demonstrated the highest levels of academic achievement year after year. Shown in the photo are (back row from left) Ms. Cynthia Denmark - Reading Coach; Ms. Nika Mason - Teacher; and Ms. Dian Acevedo - Teacher. On the front row are Ms. Peggy Johnson - Former Principal and Ms. Melanie Simons - Instructional Facilitator. |
