Texans Can! Academy Dallas South Campus
Erika Perez: i was a student at Texas Can Academy for my junior year. I Erika Perez was one of their intelligent students at this campus. My GPA is 3.9 and the highest is a 4.0. I had the best teachers, but my most favorite were Ms.Foster who taught me how to type 45 words per minute, Ms.Duncan who was my chemistry teacher, my coach who helped me get accepted into Mississippi Valley State University and my advisor Mr.Hazley.

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.
