Can anyone please tell me what is meant by at risk and mobility when looking at school report cards. Is this the number of students at risk for failure? Just trying to interpret all the TEA information.

Thanks

At risk is the portion of students whom the TEA considers at rsik of dropping out of school (normally due to failing grades/tests).

A student is considered mobile if they miss about 15% or more of the school year.

The TEA has a glossary which attempts to explain to their jargon: http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfre...2/glossary.pdf.

Hope that helped!

Re: mobility: Not so much "miss" as in playing hooky, but how many kids either came or went during the year such that they weren't enrolled at all at School X for at least 6 weeks of the school year.

So when you move your kids into a new school in January, they are part of the "mobility" number. My guess is that an area that has a lot of new construction is going on is going to see a higher mobility number than an older development as kids start school at various times of the year. Also "Reloville's" are going to have a higher number as folks are "constantly" being moved in/out of certain areas.
