Destination 2020 Goals
90% of our students to graduate on time
40% of our students attain a 21 or higher composite score on the ACT exam or SAT of 1110 on Reading/Math
75% of our students to be proficient on the “Year 2020 workplace readiness assessments”
80% of our students to enter college, the military, or a “career‐ready job” straight from high school
District Core Beliefs
Our main purpose is to improve student academic achievement.
Effective instruction makes the most difference in student academic achievement.
There is no excuse for poor quality instruction.
With our help, at‐risk students will achieve at the same rate as non at‐risk students.
Staff members must have a commitment to children AND a commitment to the pursuit of excellence.
By the Year 2020, Dallas ISD will have the highest
college‐ and career‐ready percentage of graduates of
any large urban district in the nation.
