What is a Texas School to Watch? A Texas School to Watch is a middle school that consistently has moved to meet fully the nationally endorsed criteria for high-performing middle schools; one that has made marked progress in meeting all of these criteria, including measurable gains in the academic achievement of all students over time, and is committed to continuous improvement. These schools will serve as models and mentors for other schools seeking to improve.
The mission of TASSP is to ensure that campus administrators serve as courageous transformative leaders and a unifying voice for all learners, through a dynamic network distinguished by: 1. Sharp focus on professional development; 2. Proactive mindset of agility, innovation, and decisiveness; and 3. Unrelenting commitment to student success.
