Alton Boyd Elementary School
Excellent and caring teachers with high expectations! The PTA is small and really needs more members to help make a change. However the way the Boyd's administration handles discipline is not according to the Allen ISD student book. The administration is also negative about their students and assumes the worst in them as well as the parents. We are applying to transfer our student to a nearby school whose focus is creating a love for learning and a positive learning environment.

About the TAKS
What is it?
The TAKS is an annual test used to measure a student's mastery of the state's grade-level academic standards.
Which Grades and Subjects?
Students are assessed in Grades 3 through 9 in reading, in Grades 4 and 7 in writing, and in Grades 10 and 11 in English language arts. Math skills are assessed in Grades 3 through 11, and students are assessed in Grades 5, 8, 10, and 11 in science, and in Grades 8, 10, and 11 in social studies.
How is it Scored?
Students receive one of two ratings: met standard or commended performance. The goal is for all students to meet the state standard. Students must pass the TAKS tests in grades 3, 5, and 8 in order to be promoted to the next grade, and in grade 11 in order to graduate from high school.
