 Mansfield ISD is proud to recognize Charlotte Anderson Elementary and Roberta Tipps Elementary for being named to the Texas Business & Education Coalition (TBEC) 2008 Honor Roll.
“The recognition from the Texas Business Education Coalition means a great deal to the staff of Charlotte Anderson Elementary,” said principal, Miller Beaird. “The teachers, students, and parents of Charlotte Anderson work very hard and recognition such as the honor from TBEC helps refuel our efforts and increase our passion for excellence.
“The Roberta Tipps community is so pleased to be recognized again for this achievement,” said principal, Elna Davis. This is second year in a row for Tipps Elementary to be recognized. “This honor has come with the unwavering support of district personnel as well as the sacrifice of time and talent from our students, staff and parents.”
TBEC identifies Honor Roll schools by analyzing three years of performance data for ever public school in Texas. A TBEC Honor Roll school must have a high percentage of students meeting state standards on every TAKS test for three consecutive years. That's the easy part; TBEC Honor Roll schools also have the highest percentage of students performing at the state's most rigorous standard -commended- in every subject. The selection criteria also considers the school's demographics, number of subjects tested and grade levels. Compared to other schools with similar demographics, TBEC honor Roll schools have demonstrated the highest levels of academic achievement year after year.
“The key to Charlotte Anderson's excellence is a strong culture that was established years ago and has continued to be nutured through shared leadership, says Miller Beaird. “Everyone including the students, parents, community members, teachers, and administration feels a sense of responsibility for making Charlotte Anderson a wonderful place to learn and grow.”
“[For Tipps] it is also a recognition of our continuing ability to raise the bar each year and see the positive contributions that we are able to make to our district and state, ”says Elna Davis.
Both campuses will be recognized at an upcoming Board Meeting and will be honored at TBEC's 9th Annual Honor Roll Schools Celebration on November 10, 2008 at the Grand Hyatt San Antonio.
Congratulations Roberta Tipps and Charlotte Anderson Elementary Schools.
