Dallas Achieves is a comprehensive effort of the school district and the broader Dallas community to transform the Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) into one of the best urban school districts in the country over the next four years.  Dr. Michael Hinojosa, Dallas ISD General Superintendent, and the Board of Trustees crafted a three tiered agenda around which to coordinate efforts. Those three agenda items are:

The adoption of aggressive and specific performance targets for all student groups in the areas of academic achievement, college readiness and dealing with at-risk students.
 
The identification by the National Center for Educational Accountability (NCEA) of five macro goals on which to measure the district’s progress; compare Dallas ISD progress to that of the school districts of Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio; and create annual reports on Dallas ISD’s progress.
 
The strategic alignment of resources in the district to reach the goals with the assistance of the NCEA and a major professional services firm(s) to review all resources in the district and provide commendations and recommendations as a result of such an audit.
