Alkek Elementary School
Poor test results for students taking state test. Poor communication between parents and staff. Children are blamed for misunderstanding teacher instructions. Unsafe and under supervised play areas. Lack of leadership for all seems to be a common thread throughout the campus.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. There are tin foil thin links throughout this school. If you have a choice, as a parent, you might strongly consider either the other public elementary school here in Bandera County, Hill Country Elementary.

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.
