TEAMS not indicative
of quality, official says
By DAVID MOHLMAN
Although students at some
Baytown schools scored much
better on the Texas Educational
Assessment of Minimum Skills
(TEAMS) than their peers.....at
other schools, it isn't a reflection
on the quality of instruction at
particular schools, says David
Hicks, the district’s director of
elementary education.
In fact, state school officials
this. year attempted to rank
schools and districts using a
comparison between weighted
TEAMS scores and a set of
predicted TEAMS scores.
The state tried to determine
predicted scores using four fac-
tors — percent of low-income
students tested, percent of black
and Hispanic students tested,
percent of. students tested who
have limited English proficiency
and the total number of students .
in the district or campus.
However, concern about
misuse of the rankings and
possible inaccuracies in
predicted scores "have proven
.to be valid concerns." says W.N.
Kirby, commissioner of educa-
tion* -
Thfe method used this year to,
determine predicted scores is
"probably unsound, although the
concept is good," Hicks says.
For elementary schools with
highest and lowest scores,
enrollment figures as of Oct. 19.
1987. are as follows:
‘4- Harlem — 259 whites. 55
blacks, 39 Hispanics. Total
enrollment was 353.
' +£rockett Elementary School
— 449 whites. 53 blacks. 75
Hispanics. Total enrollment was
577.
+ Bowie Elementary School —
575 whites. 125 blacks. 88
Hispanics. Tptal enrollment was
788. . -,l
-r Austin Elementary .School —
626 whites. 35 blacks. 28
+ Carver-Jones Elementary
School — 191 whites. 156 blacks,
489 Hispanics. Total enrollment
was 836.
4-Ashbel Smith Elementary
School — 301 whites. 109 blacks,
318 Hispanics. Total enrollment
was 728..
+ Pumphrey Elementary
School ~ 435 whites. 249 blacks,
164 Hispanics. Total enrollment
was 848.
i-Travis Elementary School
—-365 whites. 113 blacks. 182

100 attend
hearing of
water panel
About 100 people attended a
Texas Water Commission hear-
ing about the proposed
Wallisville Reservoir, where
both opponents and supporters
aired familiar views, according
to The Associated Press.
During the hearing, held at the
League City Civic Center on
Wednesday night, environmen-
talists repeated objections the
reservoir could adversely affect
Galveston- Bay. They also con-
tended the project may not com-
ply with the commission’s pro-
posed new water quality stan-
dards.
Supporters, which included
the Houston Chamber of Com-
merce and engiheering
organizations, responded by say-
ing the project would provide a
cheap way to meet ffoustofi’s
water needs. The supporters
also tsaid the commission was
not justified in reconsidering
state approval for the project
given four years ago.
The hearing was scheduled to
rgsump Thursday, -and' is ex-
pected to examine only whether
the planned project complies
with terms of its 1983 certifica-
tion from the commission’s
forerunper, the Texas Depart-
ment of Water Resources.
The department' became part
of the Texas Water Commission
in 1985.
—Last July. Commissioner John
Houchins said the department
had not evaluated the current
plan, since the Army Corps of
Engineers has since' added
navigation an dv fish
enhancements as part of the of-
ficial plan.

S7.000 ,from the project. Mrs.
^.Atkinsoji said.
Revenue will be generated 7
through the sale of 120 available
business ad listings at S100 each
