Woodland Heights Elementary has been identified by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) as a 2015-2016 high-performing campus.  TEA identified a total of 160 campuses across the state as high-performing Title I schools for 2015-2016. Title I schools are defined as campuses with a student population of at least 40 percent low-income.

The identification of high-performing is based on statewide reading and mathematics assessments under the State Accountability System in the 2014-2015 school year and graduation rates.

A high-performing reward school is identified as a Title I school with distinctions based on reading and math performance, as well as the highest graduation rates at the high school level.

Woodland Heights Elementary is listed as a TEA high-performing campus and is one of only three campuses in Region 15.

“It is such an honor to be selected as a high-performing campus,” stated Woodland Heights Elementary Principal, Jenny Swanzy. “I am proud of the job that our teachers, staff, children and families do. This is the result of many people’s hard work, both at school and home. We are blessed and humbled to have that hard work acknowledged in such a way as this.”

The identification of a high-performing Title I school is a part of the state’s conditional waiver from the U.S. Department of Education for specific provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (commonly known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001).
