An article in today’s Dallas Morning News notes the findings of the Texas Public Policy Foundation that identify 39 Texas High Schools that are demonstrating particular success in teaching math and science. On that list is our own Woodrow Wilson, one of the three in DISD, for its progress in teaching science. According to the article, the foundation considered a variety of factors, including TAKS, ACT, SAT and Advanced Placement test results. The intention was to determine the "best practices" of successful high schools so that these techniques can be shared with other schools. The Foundation has noted particular concern with the lack of performance in these subjects by high schools across the state.
Congratulations to Principal Ruth Vail and the staff at WWHS. Learn more about the efforts at Woodrow Wilson by visiting the web sites of the Site Based Decision Making committee and the PTA.
