Houston’s Kashmere High School has been on the state’s list of so-called “failing” schools longer than any other school in Texas. But that’s expected to change this summer. Here are four reasons why.

Teachers and administrators at Kashmere High are focused on turning the school around this year and getting off the state’s list of struggling schools.
The Texas Education Agency keeps a list of schools that must improve academically or face tough penalties. The school that’s been on that “failing” list the longest: the historically black Kashmere High School in northeast Houston.
It hasn’t passed the state’s accountability system for over a decade. But that may change very soon. Before the summer’s over, Kashmere High is expected to finally get a passing grade.
