It wasn’t what local school officials wanted to hear as the Marble Falls Independent School District fell short of its goal, receiving a 64 percent rating on secondary readiness.
The high school, however, did gain academic distinctions in ELA/Reading, math, science and social studies.
Superintendent Dr. Chris Allen explained there are only 25 districts, out of thousands in the state, that receive this distinction.
“Am I happy with these results, no, but I believe we are generally on the right track,” he said.
The good news is SAT scores surpassed the statewide average.
Distinctions awarded to Marble Falls High School were Academic Achievements in ELA/Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Also awarded was Postsecondary Readiness.
Marble Falls Middle School was awarded Academic Achievement in Science.
