by admin on Nov.29, 2011, under Did you know, education
A non-profit group in Houston, Texas called Children at Risk conducts secondary and primary school rankings in the Houston area, and awards the top ten high schools and top five middle and elementary schools with a certificate commending their school's performance. The charity strives to improve the quality of life for children across the state of Texas through research, education, collaboration and advocacy.
The evaluation of Houston areas schools took several years, and they have recently extended their reporting to include all public schools across Texas. Their school rankings report is an accessible guide for parents, educators, and community members to gauge the performance of local schools and to spark important community dialogue on the quality of public education in the state of Texas. While this schools guide is focused on Houston only, there are also others that are more comprehensive. These can help parents determine the quality of education available at different primary schools.
To this end, the non-profit group in Houston, Texas will hold public town hall meetings to involve the community, such as an upcoming meeting on May 4th on the theme ìPartnering for Change: The Role of the Community in Protecting and Improving Public Education.
