AECs are those that serve students at risk of dropping out of school as defined in Texas Education Code (TEC) §29.081(d). Accountability ratings for AECs and charter schools are assigned similarly to non-AEA districts and campuses but included modified and alternative procedures applicable to the graduation rate and annual dropout rate calculations are provided.
