Great news for Fort Bend residents! Nearly all of the Lama Consolidated Independent School District's ratable schools received either "Exemplary" or "Recognized" status by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) this year. The ratings were revealed last Friday, showing 15 LCISD schools with the highest rank of "Exemplary", which is 3 more than last year's 12.

This is no simple feat since, according to TEA information, schools must achieve a 90% or better passing rate in all Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test subjects “for all students and all student groups that meet minimum size criteria, and a completion rate of at least 95% and an annual dropout rate of 2% or lower”. This is nothing short of remarkable for all of these schools.

11 other schools within the district received the “Recognized” rating, which is the second highest score given out by the TEA. This is up from 7 schools last year.

Here is a list of the Exemplary Schools:

Navarro Middoe School
Wertheimer Middle School
Bowie Elementary
Jane Long Elementary
Travis Elementary
Taylor Ray Elementary
Williams Elementary
Austin Elementary
Dickinson Elementary
Pink Elementary
Campbell Elementary
Frost Elementary

Congratulations go out to LCISD for a job well done in excelling school performance throughout Fort Bend.
