Texas School Accountability System marks decade of success By Lieutenant Governor Bill Ratliff While much of the recent debate surround­

ing public schools has focused on the imple­mentation of new state testing standards, there is an earlier chapter in the history of Texas school reform that has gone largely unread.

The 78th Legislative Session that begins in January will mark the lOth anniversary of an omnibus education bill that established the Texas school accountability system.

The latest controversy over the next best step in that venture makes this an appropriate time for Texans to examine what they are getting from their public schools.

In many states, attempts to raise education standards unearthed an ugly reality beneath the rhetoric that "all children can learn." All too often, policymakers didn't truly believe poor and minority children could achieve as much as their more privileged counterparts and their subconscious bigotry undermined reform efforts.

Education leaders in Texas took a radically different approach and created a system that could track different groups of students-in­cluding poor and minority children-while it evaluated schools and districts based on a com­mon test-score target that must be met by each group. '

Our innovation didn't end there. Instead of setting unrealistically high goals, Texas ra ised

the bar just above where the system was per­forming before 1993 and steadily raised it over the course of a decade. Like a magnet that can move a metal object by placing it just close enough and drawing it carefully away, educa­tion where they were and lifted standards over time.

Dr. Uri Treisman, Director of the Dana Cen­ter at the University of Texas at Austin, credits this "inch by inch" approach with raising stu­dent achievement while avoiding the con trover· sics accountability policies sparked in other states. In fact, Dr. Treisman called the state's abi lity to set school standards and raise them each year "the genius of the system."

The real test of Texas' success may be mea­sured by how our state stacks up with other states in terms of student achievement. Fortu­nately, a nationwide comparison became pos­sible in the 1990's with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests. Today, all Texans can take pride in the results.

In 1992, Texas' Hispanic and Anglo fourth graders Fanked 12th in the nation in math. African-American fourth graders performed slightly better in ninth place. In 2000, African­American, Hispanic and Anglo fourth graders all ranked first in the nation.

Throughout the decade, Hispanic eighth grad­ers jumped from lOth in the nation to fifth in math. African-American eighth graders moved

from 16th to ninth and their Anglo classmates who had ranked 12th in 1992, were seventh in 2000.

Reading was added to the NAEP testing program in 1998 and brought more encourag­ing results. Although initial findings reported that Texas' fourth and eighth graders were at the national average in reading, our African­American students were four percentage points above average for their peers and our Hispanic fourth and eighth graders scored nine percent­age points better than their peers nationwide.

NAEP also added a writing test to their program in 1998 and found that Texas' eighth graders were second only to Connecticut in writing. A national comparison of African­American eighth graders placed Texas first.

· Texas also participated in the Third Inter­national Math and Science Study (TIMSS) with 12 other states and 37 countries around the world. Although Texas had the highest proportion of low income and minority stu­dents among a ll of the states, our students shined. Texas' low income and minority stu­dents outscored t heir peers in all other states and only Michigan achieved a higher math score for all students. Texas also had the added honor of having more students score in the top 10 percent internationally than any other state.

Critics have often complained that the Texas accountability system is built on test scores

that are tainted by "teaching to the test." That is, teachers instruct students on how to answer specific questions, or types of questions, in­stead of teaching them to gather the knowl­edge and .skills they need to succeed.

Yet many experts consider NAEP tests to be high-quality assessments ofstudentskills that cover a wide range of knowledge-from the basic to the very sophisticated.

Furthermore, each NAEP subject exam is administered only to a representative sample of students, eliminating the possibilityofteach~ ing to the test.

National test scores show young Texans are outpacing their peers in other states by mas­tering the skills measured by tests like the NAEP and TIMSS. And just as importantly, Texas' results show that states with large groups of low income and minority students don't have to sink to the bottom in nationwide rankings. Indeed, they can ri se to the very top.

There is no doubt that Texas stil\has a long way to go before its schools are going to be able to educate all of its students at the highest

· levels. But our state has made very real progress over the past decade due to the quality and tireless dedication of our teachers, and the state's fiercely pragmatic and equity driven approach to school accountability that has put Texas on top in education reform.
