As a part of House Bill 5 in 2013, each school district is now required to develop a system to evaluate itself and each of its campuses in the following areas:
Based on our Core Beliefs & Commitments, established by a group of community members and the board of Trustees, CSISD developed an accountability system that ranks the district and individual campuses using a variety of indicators deemed important by the community.
Core Beliefs

- The education of each student is the responsibility of the school district, the student, the family and community.
- Student success is dependent on the quality of the CSISD staff.
Commitments
CSISD will...

- Provide a challenging, relevant, engaging and aligned curriculum.
