TEXAS – According to U.S. News and World Report, 43 IDEA elementary and middle schools are the Best in the Nation – the most schools ranked out of any district in the state of Texas.
This is the first time U.S. News & World Report has published rankings of public elementary and middle schools.
Scoring was almost entirely rooted in students’ academic performance on state assessments in mathematics and reading/language arts. States administer academic assessments to determine whether learning in core subjects is achieved and to evaluate how well schools are educating their students. This year’s unprecedented achievement marks the 14th year that multiple IDEA schools have been ranked by U.S. News and World Report.
“Being able to send our children to the best school is one of the most important choices we have to make for them. At IDEA Public Schools, we are committed to preparing every child for college and career success. A great elementary and middle school education is where the journey to college begins,” said Al Lopez, IDEA Acting CEO and Superintendent.
