Population Growth
These rankings show which Texas Districts have experienced the fastest growth over the past year (2007-08 to 2008-09), despite the economic crisis and decline in new housing that faces the entire state and nation.


KN as a Proportion of Total Population
Districts with a high proportion of young students relative to the overall student population can expect continued enrollment growth as these young students age and matriculate through the system.  Even if no new housing is built and no new students move into the District, the large young population will replace smaller graduating classes, resulting in increasing enrollment figures


Economically Disadvantaged Population
This marker correlates with the overall perception of quality of life within a District.  These rankings represent one way to measure each District's competitive advantage in attracting new housing growth and new students to the District.


TAKS
Overall achievement on the state's standardized tests is another measure of the desirability of a District for families planning a move.  These rankings represent another way to measure each District's competitive advantage in attracting new housing growth and new students to the District.
