Student Achievement, 1986-87.
Mangino, Evangelina
This report summarizes results of student achievement in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD) on the Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills (TEAMS) tests in 1986-87. Major findings indicate the following: (1) 99.4% of AISD seniors to graduate in May 1987 passed the Exit-Level TEAMS tests, with only 17 denied diplomas in the first year of this new graduation requirement; (2) AISD seniors excelled on college entrance examinations, exceeding both Texas and national averages on the Scholastic Aptitude Test; (3) across all grades and test areas, AISD students scored above national averages on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) and Texas Assessment Project (TAP); (4) AISD minority students scored above the average for all students in urban districts on the ITBS; (5) AISD Hispanic students scored above the national average on the ITBS language test in grades 2-8, 10, and 11, and Black students scored above the national average in grades 3 and 8; (6) although the percentages of AISD students mastering the TEAMS at grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11-12 showed gains, statewide gains were generally greater from 1986 to 1987; (7) except on Exit-Level TEAMS at grade 11, AISD students mastered TEAMS tests at an equal or lower rate than students statewide; (8) ITBS and TAP averages were generally higher but mixed; and (9) ITBS scores of minority students have steadily improved.
