The thirteen campuses in the EPISD who did meet AYP requirements were: CC. Winn High School, the Language Development Center, the Early Childhood Center, RVLA, Graves, Glass, Kirschner, Benavides Heights, Henry B. Gonzalez, Kennedy Hall , Liberty, Armando Cerna and Perfecto Mancha Elementaries. Forty-four percent of Texas campuses met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets this year due to a substantial increase in requirements. Under this federal school accountability system, a school or district this year met AYP requirements if 87 percent or more of their students passed the state reading/English language arts test; 83 percent of their students passed the state mathematics test; 95 percent of their students participated in the state testing program and, depending on the grade level, had either a 75 percent graduation rate or a 90 percent attendance rate. Twenty-eight percent of Texas districts met these high standards. Those schools who did not meet AYP requirements were: Eagle Pass High School, Eagle Pass Junior High, Memorial Junior High, Ray Darr, Robert E. Lee, San Luis, Rosita Valley, Seco Mines, Sam Houston and Pete Gallego Elementaries. Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, Samuel Mijares informed The News Gram that his focus this year is to work closely with campus administration to provide their staff with the necessary staff development and resources they need to address all of our students. He added that although it will be difficult, not meeting requirements for a second or third year may result in lack of funding and other sanctions, but he has faith that our teachers and students have what it takes to move forward and accomplish the district's academic goals. When asked about his campus meeting AYP requirements, Principal Jesús Díaz-Wever had the following to say, "We're excited about meeting AYP. It was a coordinated effort of our teachers, students and parents during this past school year," said Díaz, "I want to thank the District Service Center for their support and that of central office administration who are always there to help us accomplish our academic goals." These requirements are comparable to Recognized or Exemplary level performance in the 2011 state accountability system. No state ratings are being issued this summer because the accountability system must be retooled to use results of the new State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). Districts or campuses that miss AYP for the same reason (reading, mathematics, graduation rate, or attendance rate) for two or more years and receive Title I funds move into the school improvement program and are subject to sanctions.  Title I funds are federal funds that are to be used for the education of low-income students.
