My son has been at O'Bryant Primary for 3 years and it is just wonderful! The teachers are overall fantastic, the layout of the school is modern and exciting for the kids to learn and play. My son has excelled here and it will make moving and changing schools very challenging. O'Bryant Primary has definitely set the bar very for the schools in our future.

Both of my boys are in kindergarten, and we have been EXTREMELY pleased with their progress. The entire school experience this year has surpassed our expectations. Everything from Field Day, complete with water activities and a ton of fun, to the special events and experiences that are sprinkled liberally throughout the school year. We love the caring, nurturing environment and the surprisingly common-sense approach to learning. Our boys are getting a well-rounded education with exposure to hands-on science experiments, conversational Spanish, popular computer programs, and tons of fun reading programs and contests! The teacher is amazing---she's so much fun and loves to dive right into the middle of whatever the class is working on---whether she's splashing through the water with them, or marveling at the hatching baby ducklings, or curiously studying the latest treasure brought in by the students! We are very happy here!!!

I am so pleased with this school. I have pulled my children out of one of the top ranked schools in Texas, and placed them here, and have gotten further with their education. I feel that the staff actually cares about the student not quota!

About the tests

In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

About the tests

Texas uses Accountability Ratings to indicate the overall performance of each school and district. The ratings are based on TAKS test results, dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 and school completion rates for grades 9 through 12. Schools and districts rated under standard accountability procedures are designated as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Schools and districts rated under alternative education accountability (AEA) procedures are designated as either AEA: Academically Acceptable or AEA: Academically Unacceptable.
