Irving school district to appeal 'academically acceptable' rating

Katherine Leal Unmuth:

The Irving school district missed achieving a "recognized" rating in the recently released state accountability ratings because the completion rates for black students fell 1 percentage point short of the standard.

The ratings showed an 84 percent completion rate for black students, short of the required 85 percent. Completion rates represent students who graduated or continued high school rather than dropping out. The district kept the "academically acceptable" rating it has maintained since 2004.
