Granbury High School was among the state school campuses listed on the Public Education Grant (PEG) List issued recently by the Texas Education Agency.

According to state law, a school district chosen by a student’s parent is entitled to accept or reject the application for the student to attend school in that district but may not use criteria that discriminate on the basis of the student’s race, ethnicity, academic achievement, athletic abilities, language proficiency, sex, or socioeconomic status.

Created in 1995, the PEG program permits parents whose children attend schools on the list to request a transfer to another school within or outside their school district.  A school at which fifty percent or more of the students failed any of the subjects measured by the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) in any two of the preceding three years or a school that was rated Academically Unacceptable during the three preceding years is included on the PEG List.  Even a campus that has received a state rating of Exemplary or Recognized may be included based on state test scores and prior accountability ratings.
