Federal Report Cards The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires each State education agency to prepare and publish an annual report card with state-, district- and campus-level data. Federal Report Cards for 2019–20 are now available. ESSA also requires each State education agency to report annually to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. The Texas Annual Report to the Secretary is available for 2017-18, 2018-19, and 2019-20. Every district that receives Title I, Part A funding is responsible for distributing the state-, district- and campus-level report cards to each of its campuses, the parents of all enrolled students, and the general public. Prior to 2013, the NCLB Report Card was published annually from 2009–12. For more information about the Federal Report Card and districts' responsibilities related to it, please visit the Title I, Part A webpage. Please contact Chris Mason, Assistant Superintendent at masonc@quitmanisd.net to request a hard copy of the report. The Federal Reports can be found using the below link. https://www.quitmanisd.net/o/quitman-isd/browse/183401

The State of Texas 2019–20 School Report Card for Quitman ISD is now available. This report is required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. It is to be shared with the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in a Texas public school. The report provides information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures. Due to COVID-19,STAAR® assessments were cancelled for the 2019–20 school year. Therefore, several data points have not been updated, including STAAR® and academic growth data.  The information contained in the School Report Card is required by state law and is briefly described in the enclosed “2019–20 School Report Card Definitions.” The report for our school may or may not have all the information described because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school. State law requires that the School Report Card display information about the state, the district, and the school. Where possible, the information must be reported by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status of the students and must include at least two years of results. The School Report Cards can be found online at: https://www.quitmanisd.net/o/quitman-isd/browse/183379 Parents may also request a paper copy of the report by contacting Chris Mason, QISD Assistant Superintendent, at the Administration Office. Parents may also contact their child's campus administrator with questions, comments or concerns.     Spanish Version:  Estimado Padre de Familia:Adjunto a esta carta encontrará una copia del reporte de las Calificaciones Escolares del Estadode Texas 2019–20 para Quitman ISD.
