Kids Count Data Center

Definitions: Number and percentage of 4th and 7th grade students passing the writing component of Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) Examination.

Data Source: Texas Education Agency

Footnotes: "LNE" = Low Number Event. A LNE occurs when the number of children is masked by the reporting agency because it is so low that revealing the number could potentially identify a specific child.

Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.
