Texas Public Education Mission Statement
The mission of the public education system of this state is to ensure that all Texas children have access to a quality education that enables them to achieve their potential and fully participate now and the future in the social, economic, and education opportunities of our state and nation. That mission is grounded on the conviction that a general diffusion of knowledge is essential for the welfare of this state and for the preservation of the liberties and rights of citizens. It is further grounded on the conviction that a successful public education system is directly related to a strong, dedicated, and supportive family; and that parental involvement in the school is essential for the maximum educational achievement of a child.

Jarrell ISD Mission Statement
The mission of the Jarrell Independent School District, a learning community unified by a spirit of exploration and excellence, is to
Provide an outstanding instructional program through expanded academic and CTE opportunities while maintaining small class sizes.
Create a cohesive educational community through outstanding communication and strong community involvement.
Provide a safe and wellmaintained learning environment with a focus on facilities, grounds, and transportation and designed to manage the continued growth of the district.
Support the human resources of the district in a manner that encourages employee commitment to the district while continuing to seek the best and brightest as new staff are recruited.
Immerse the Jarrell education community in the most current and emerging technologies.
Jarrell ISD Statement of Beliefs
We believe that:
Each student deserves access to a worldclass education. Education is a partnership between family, school, and community. Relationships are the foundation for meaningful teaching and learning. Learning can occur anytime, anyplace, and at any pace. Providing diverse learning opportunities promotes individual success. Excellence is worth the effort. High expectations drive performance. Diversity strengthens our community. The measure of success of any community is the success of its children. Communication with all stakeholders develops unity. Every person is responsible to be to be a continuous lifelong learner.
COMPREHENSIVE NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Jarrell Independent School District conducted comprehensive needs assessments based on AEIS and PBMAS data including STAAR performance, attendance rates, dropout rates, SAT, ACT, and TELPAS data. In addition, for general education and for special programs, the data were disaggregated for all population groups. Individual student’s strengths and weaknesses were identified by disaggregating data by grade level, subject area, and objectives. The needs assessment also consisted of identifying needs for all subject areas, grade levels, and each special program considering the six areas of decision making (planning, curriculum/instruction, staffing, staff development, school organization, budgeting). Campus improvement plans from the 20132014 school year were also reviewed. As a result the 20142015 district and campus improvement plans include all identified priority needs.
Target 1: Increase student academic performance for all Jarrell ISD students
Goal 1.1: On state mandated tests all sub-population groups and academically at risk students will score at or above the recommended standard.
