Allen ISD academic profile

DFW school districts rank: 5

Academic performance score: 10

Texas Education Agency accountability grade: A

In addition to its 2019 top-tier DFW school districts ranking, Allen Independent School District also is recognized as one of the top school districts in Texas. The ranking methodology used for both the state and metropolitan area best school districts analyses presented on this best DFW school districts rankings page.

The academic performance score provides a quick way to determine approximately where a school district's or school's student academic performance ranks among the performance of students in other Texas districts and schools. School districts and campuses with combined State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) and college readiness indexes ranked in the top ten percent of Texas school districts and schools are awarded an academic performance score of 10, districts and schools with combined academic performance indexes in the ninth decile receive a score of 9, and so on.

Allen ISD was joined by 11.9 percent of all Texas K-12 school districts in being recognized by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) with an accountabiliy grade of A, the top grade awarded in 2018 to school districts.

Allen Independent School District operates eighteen elementary schools, three middle schools, one ninth grade center and one high school. These twenty-three schools are attended by approximately 21,100 students who live in Allen, McKinney, Lucas and Parker.

Allen ISD's 2018 Texas Education Agency (TEA) STAAR component scaled score is 93. As is further explained in the Texas Education Agency 2018 Accountability Manual, the STAAR scaled score is calculated by first adding equal weightings of the percentage of assessments on which students’ performance mastered grade level, met grade level and approached grade level, dividing the sum by 3 and rounding it to the nearest whole percentage. This raw STAAR raw component score is then adjusted or “scaled” by using a conversion table to align accountability letter grades and scores of Texas public school districts and campuses.

As depicted in the 2018 TEA STAARS scores graph (right) and shown in the Allen ISD schools table (below), nineteen Allen ISD campuses attained TEA STAAR scaled scores between 90 and 100, two campuses' STAAR scores were between 80 and 89, and one Allen ISD campus had a STAAR scaled score between 70 and 79.

Sixteen Allen ISD schools are attended by students living in north Dallas suburban neighborhoods profiled on this website. The TEA STAAR scaled scores for fifteen of these campuses is between 90 and 100 and the score for one campus is between 80 and 89. The accountability rating for all of these schools is Met Standard, the TEA's highest campus rating in 2018.
