This year Rider reached TEA Recognized status all thanks to the hard work of every student and all the staff members. Be proud. You’ve earned it.
A big part of the reason we reached recognized campus was due to the many hours math and science teachers spent helping students truly understand the concepts. They weren’t alone. Advisory was instated and students who had difficulty in the past with TAKS took part in mandatory tutorials.
Also students should be proud of themselves for spending so much time preparing for the test and getting Rider into the 80 percent range.
Administrators played a huge part in the accomplishment also. They were the ones who implemented the various tutorials and also helped two teachers create a special math class to boost scores. They are the ones backing the teachers to push the students to be the best they can be.
The goal set for next year is for Rider to reach 90 percent range, so students work hard, teachers keep stretching and reach the goal.
