The Texas Education Association has released accountability ratings and 10 of the 29 schools
did not meet state standards. On that list Fehl-Price Elementary did not meet the standards for
the fifth year in a row. Jones-Clark Elementary and Smith Middle School have failed to meet
standards for four years in a row. Among other districts in southeast Texas not meeting state
accountability standards were West Orange- Stark High School, West Orange-Stark Middle
School, and West Orange-Stark Elementary School. Port Arthur Memorial High School
improved from needing improvement over the past three years by meeting all four standards
in 2017.
