WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON BEING A LIGHTHOUSE FOR THESE FAMILIES WHO ARE BEING UNDERSERVED BY LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NYOS, CEDARS INTERNATIONAL SURPASSES ALL OF THE TRADITIONAL AND CHARTER SCHOOLS WITHIN OUR ATTENDANCE AREAS. WITH THE FY23-24 UNLITIGATED RATINGS, CEDARS WAS AN "A" DISTRICT. OUR CURRENT RATING OF 74 REFLECTS THE UNANTICIPATED CHANGE IN CCMR SCORES FROM 60% TO 88% AND THE FIRST YEAR OF CHANGE TO THE TEA RECOMMENDED CURRICULUM. CCMR SCORES HAVE INCREASED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS FROM 69% TO 91%. THE FY24-25 RATINGS WILL REFLECT THIS INCREASE. WE HAVE ALSO PUT A GREAT DEAL OF TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INTO OUR WEEKLY SCHEDULE TO ADDRESS DROPS RELATED TO THE NEW CURRICULUM AS PART OF OUR IMPROVEMENT PLAN. 6794643 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 47 0 1 105 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X DR LESLIE SPARACELLO 5124191551 8416 N IH-35 AUSTIN TX 78753 DONNA BOWEN BUSINESS MANAGER 40.00 X X 58355 0 11662 DR LESLIE SPARACELLO SUPERINTENDENT 40.00 X X 53980 0 5289 MICHAEL BLALOCK SECRETARY/PRESIDENT (THRU/FROM 07/24) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GIACOMO LEONE BD.
