(a) The commissioner shall select a center for education research authorized by § 1.005 to prepare an annual report concerning the performance of open-enrollment charter schools by authorizer compared to campus charters and matched traditional campuses, which shall be provided annually under Subchapters J and K, Chapter 39.
(b) The format of the report must enable the public to distinguish and compare the performance of each type of public school by classifying the schools as follows:
(1) open-enrollment charters granted by the State Board of Education;
(2) open-enrollment charters granted by the commissioner;
(3) charters granted by school districts; and
(4) matched traditional campuses.
(c) The report must include the performance of each public school in each class described by Subsection (b) as measured by the achievement indicators adopted under § 39.053(c) and student attrition rates.
(d) The report must also:
(1) aggregate and compare the performance of open-enrollment charter schools granted charters by the State Board of Education, open-enrollment charter schools granted charters by the commissioner, campuses and programs granted charters by school districts, and matched traditional campuses; and
(2) rate the aggregate performance of elementary, middle or junior high, and high schools within each class described by Subsection (b) as indicated by the composite rating that would be assigned to the class of elementary, middle or junior high, and high schools if the students attending all schools in that class were cumulatively enrolled in one elementary, middle or junior high, or high school.
(e) The report must also include an analysis of whether the performance of matched traditional campuses would likely improve if there were consolidation of school districts within the county in which the campuses are located. This subsection applies only to a county that includes at least seven school districts and at least 10 open-enrollment charter schools.
