TAKS Incentives Finalized

CHS students will have the opportunity to earn the following incentives via their performance on the upcoming TAKS test. Incentives will be based on entire grade level's performance on the tests. If the overall percentage of students passing each test increases 1% over the previous year then the students will recieve a 5% bonus on the 2nd semester final exam in that area. If the percentage of commended students increases 5% over the previous year then the students will recieve an additional 5% bonus on their final exam in that area. An example is listed below.

The 2008 10th Grade had a 90% passing rate on the math test. If the 2009 10th Grade has 91% or higher passing rate on their math test then the 10th graders will recieve a 5% bonus on their final exam in the math class they're currently enrolled in. The commended rate was 43% thus the 2009 rate will need to increase to 48% for the 10th graders to get an additional 5%.

Again this will be a group effort as we may not provide TAKS incentives for individual performance on TAKS alone. Good Luck CHS students and I truly hope you achieve your goals.
