y ( HI
lieonly exemplary school district among
1,048 in the state, handling a 12 percent in-
ein enrollment the first day of classes is

1 Smallness is the key. We have three teach-
ind29 students, so we can see the students

T Mdms," said Carrie, Bierschwale, who has
; Jteaching at Doss School District the past
{years. , hr.
Hie 109-year-old Doss School is considered
Heart of this community of about 80 people
miles northwest of Fredericksburg in
:pie County.
lerschwale, who'll be teaching 12 fourth-,
•and sixth-graders this year, talked about
district's exemplary program as students
the small community in northwestern
Gillespie County filtered in for the first day of
school Aug. 24.
In addition to Bierschwale, the students are
taught by Clairlean Friedrich, a five-year veter
an, and Eileen Whited, who's starting her sec
ond year here.
Their efforts and the performance of the
students earned the one-school district recog
nition this month as the top district ranked by
the Texas Education Agency.
The first-time ranking by the education
agency was based on the Texas Assessment of
Academic Skills (TAAS) achievement test re
sults of fourth-, eighth -and 10th -graders;
dropout rates; and other variables used to de
termine how effectively children are being ed
ucated.
The news surprised the teachers who hold
classes in what they affectionately call "the Lit
tle Room, the Middle Room and the Big
Room."
No effort is made to gear studies toward
passing the TAAS tests, the teachers said,
adding that six Doss students in the fourth and
eighth grades took the examination last year.
There are no classes above the eighth grade
at Doss School, and area youngsters transfer to
nearby Fredericksburg or Harper for high
school classes.
"If we teach all the stuff that is in the books,
we believe they will know what is on the
tests," Bierschwale said.
"We have to spend a lot of extra hours and
work all summer long just to keep prepared,"
she said, adding she has to teach 21 subjects.
Friedrich, who teaches 24 subjects to stu
dents in kindergarten through third grade,
said repetition and immediate attention to
problems also helps the students.
"When we get through with one class, they
start their homework as we go to the next
class. If there is a problem, we can immediate
ly work with them," she said.
