This is a list of schools with 50% or less of the students passing TAKS/STAAR in any two of the proceeding three years - 2010, 2011 and 2012 or the school was rated Academically Unacceptable in 2010 or 2011 [no state accountability ratings were issued in 2012]. Students who attend these schools have the option to transfer to other schools (although very few do due to transportation issues). If you go to the Texas Education Agency website to learn more about this, look for the 2013-2014 Public Education Grant (PEG) List.
