Question #3

3)    The five years from 2006 to 2011 stand out in DISD History, why?

Since this is a more data centered issue in my opinion, here is my answer to this one:

This was the greatest period of improvement in BOTH the graduation rate and general academic improvement in DISD History!  The academic improvement was reflected in the lowering of the Texas/DISD Student Achievement Gap to the lowest levels in history!

In 2011, for the first time in over 3 decades, the size of the graduation class was over 50% the size of the 9th grade class three years earlier! This progress led to the largest DISD graduation class in 32 years with the Class of 2013. See chart below on the Texas/DISD Student Achievement Gap:
