Students Get Six Chances during Summer to "Test Out of Classes"


The state's education law, the Texas Administrative Code (TAC), will allow Bay City public school students to obtain credit in a course or grade level by passing tests approved by school district trustees.  Texas law, 19 TAC Chapter 74, allows students to "test out of a course" by taking a "Credit by Examination" without prior instruction in the course(s) being tested.  To earn credit for a grade or a subject the student must answer 90% of the questions correctly.  In accordance with local school district policy, a student in any of Grades 6-12 may be given credit for an academic subject in which he or she had some prior instruction, if the student scores 70% on the test.  The tests are rigorous, targeting all the objectives for the courses covered.

The tests will be administered in Victoria through Region III Education Service Center on June 25, 26, and 27, 2009 and again on July 8, 9, and 10, 2009 from 9:00am - 4:00pm on each date.  Registration applications may be picked up from each Bay City ISD campus office during the months of April, and May and are due to Region III ESC by June 3, 2009.  There are no fees or costs to take the tests.

There is no flexibility on meeting the deadline dates.

For more information call your school counselor.

  Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS)

The Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) pulls together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. This information is put into the annual AEIS reports, which are available each year in November. The performance indicators include:

-TAKS passing rate
-End-of-Course examination -- participation and results;
-SDAA performance
-Attendance rate for the full year;
-Dropout rate (by year);
-Completion and dropout rates (4-year longitudinal);
-Percent of high school students completing an advanced course;
-Percent of graduates completing the Recommended High School Program;
-AP and IB examination results;
-TAAS / TASP equivalency rate; and
-SAT and ACT examination -- participation and results.

Performance on each of these indicators is shown disaggregated by ethnicity, special education and low income status. The reports also provide extensive information on school and district staff, finances, programs and demographics. (information from the TEA web site)
