This graph shows two data columns for the “% met standard” of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) for each year. The first column is the score for Alan B Shepard Middle, the second is the district average. Each bar represents the total percentage of students who met the standard, and subdivided by the percent of students who achieved a “commended performance”.

As mandated by the 76th Texas Legislature in 1999, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS™) was administered beginning in the 2002-2003 school year. The TAKS™ measures the statewide curriculum in reading at Grades 3-9; in writing at Grades 4 and 7; in English Language Arts at Grades 10 and 11; in mathematics at Grades 3-11; in science at Grades 5,10, and 11; and social studies at Grades 8, 10, and 11. Satisfactory performance on the TAKS™ at Grade 11 is prerequisite to a high school diploma.
