Depressing Statistics:

According to the Texas Education Agency, these are the statistics for students performing at or above grade level in 2018:

77%- 3rd Grade Reading

78%- 3rd Grade Math

69%- 6th Grade Reading

77%- 6th Grade Math

67%- High School Reading

72%- High School Math

These statistics are dismal indeed. However, the attendance rate for 2018 in all grade levels state-wide was a whopping 95.4% for the school year. It isn't that kids aren't coming to school. Attendance level is great, but you don't get trophies for showing up. So what are schools doing with our tax dollars? Why are so many students NOT performing at grade level in spite of the fact that they do attend classes?
