HOUSTON – Houston ISD is taking a new approach this school year to make sure more campuses move into the top performance categories.

The district has identified 17 campuses as “Special Focus” schools not failing, but schools rated C or D that need more support to become A or B schools.

Sandi Massey, HISD’s Chief of Schools, says the program is about giving schools an extra push before problems worsen.

“Every year we tend to work with schools who need a little extra support that may not be getting it with the transformation,” Massey said.

She emphasized that HISD currently has no F-rated schools — a first in years. But some schools are trending downward.
