Golden Rule Charter School
I have seen & heard from a number of reputable sources about how poorly this school is taken care of. The principal of the Oak Cliff campus has been caught in lies several times & refuses to treat his teachers with respect. He lies constantly (has been caught in a lie concerning a teacher's paycheck when there was money taken out that never should have been), talks down to teachers, & no body can complain because they ignore it. The school does not offer the teachers worker compensation, even though more than one teacher has been injured while working. The teachers are not allowed to get training in fields that they would like to, but instead are forced to do trainings against their wills, even if they are already trained/certified in it. The safety of the school is also a major issue. The office leaves the visitor badges outside the window, anyone can grab one and no one would even say anything. Anytime I have been on campus security is either in their car playing on their phone or just joking around with people. Students can get away with anything if they are related, such as another kid cutting another with a piece of glass. For the safety of teachers & kids, please STAY AWAY!

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.
