The 2018 list evaluates schools that have proven the most effective in
producing college-ready graduates, based on a four-step process:

Determining whether a school’s students were performing better than
statistically expected for students in that state; Assessing whether their
historically underserved students (African American, Hispanic and low-
income) performed at or better than the state average for historically
underserved students; Meeting or surpassing a benchmark for a school’s
graduation rate (80 percent or greater) and Assessing college-readiness
performance using Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate
test data as the benchmark for success.

The fourth step measured which schools produced the best college-level
achievement for the highest percentages of their students, which was
completed by computing a College Readiness Index. The maximum CRI
value is 100. To be ranked nationally, a high school had to pass the first
three steps and have a CRI value at or above 21.51 (the midpoint of all
CRI values).

Of the 5,948 highest-scoring schools, the top 500 were awarded gold
medals. Schools ranked No. 501 to No. 2,711 were awarded silver medals,
while the remaining 3,237 ranked schools were awarded bronze medals.

Cypress Woods was ranked at 1,297 in the nation and 149 in Texas with a
97-percent graduation rate and 40.2 CRI value.

Cypress Ranch was ranked 1,678 in the nation and 173 in Texas with a
98-percent graduation rate and 34.3 CRI value.

Langham Creek was ranked 2,198 in the nation and 194 in Texas with a
92-percent graduation rate and 27.4 CRI value.

Cypress Ridge was ranked 2,670 in the nation and 224 in Texas with a
94-percent graduation rate and 22.0 CRI value.

people think, this isn’t an issue just for the older adult population: half of
hearing loss sufferers in America are younger than 65. Let’s take a closer
look at the causes of hearing loss and how to be proactive in protecting
and preserving your hearing.

Types of Hearing Loss
There are three types of hearing loss. Aging is the reason most of us think
of first. Hearing loss can also be caused by illness. Noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is the third type of hearing loss and it’s on the rise in America.
We are exposed to more noise than ever before. This doesn’t mean,
though, that hearing loss is inevitable. Hearing care and examinations at
a hearing clinic can help protect your hearing and prevent hearing loss
due to excessive noise.

How We Hear
How do we hear? The outer part of our ear acts as a funnel, channeling
sound waves into the ear canal. There, they vibrate the ear drum and
pass through to the middle ear. Within the middle ear are the three
smallest bones in the human body. These tiny bones are responsible for
amplifying the sounds waves before they move to the inner ear. This part
of the ear is related to balance. The middle ear also contains microscopic
hairs that, when vibrated, trigger the electrical impulses that are then
sent to the brain from the auditory nerve, allowing us to hear.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Noise-induced hearing loss happens with prolonged exposure to noise
levels at 85 decibels or higher. When the tiny hairs in our ear canal are
exposed to this level of noise over time, these hairs can become damaged.
This damage is permanent. You might be surprised to find out that many
noise sources that we encounter in our daily lives measure higher than 85
decibels - the threshold at which noise levels start to become damaging
to the ears.

Hair dryers and ambulances are two such examples. Music concerts
and sporting events also have noise levels above 85db. Does this mean
drying your hair occasionally or going to a few football games will lead
to hearing loss? Not necessarily. It’s important to talk to a trained and
licensed audiologist and get a hearing assessment to make sure you’re
doing what you can to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.

How an Audiologist Can Help
An audiologist is a state-licensed health care professional that holds a
master’s or doctorate degree from an accredited university. Audiologists
don’t just fit hearing aids or deal with a patients’ hearing loss after the
fact - though this is an important part of their work. Audiologists are also
able to design and implement a plan for you to prevent noise-induced
hearing loss in the first place.

Take steps this October to better protect your hearing. Get to know your
audiologist and schedule a hearing assessment. If you are someone who
is regularly subject to excessive noise levels, an audiologist can work
with you to prevent permanent hearing damage.

Boy Scout Troop 10
Boy Scout Troop 10 has a new home! We now meet at Copperfield Church on Monday evenings from 7 PM-8:30 PM. Our meeting rooms are upstairs in
conference rooms #2 and #3. Please enter through the front doors of the church, head up the stairs and feel free to come visit us at any time! Troop 10 has
a campout scheduled for every month of the school year, which gives the Scouts ample opportunities to earn their ranks and many assorted merit badges.

The Troop had an amazing time attending the high adventure Swamp Base this summer in Louisiana. The kids and adults canoed over 60 miles in a 5
day period as well as taking part in lots of games and archery where they made their own arrows.

In addition, the Troop hosted a campout for some of the Webelos in the district at Bear Creek Park in September. The Scouts had numerous
competitions, including a Dutch oven cook off, a Skittles contest, an Oreo contest and everyone planted their own Oak tree as part of the “Into The
Woods” adventure for the Webelos! We are looking forward to helping out at the Webelos Weekend at the end of the month!

If you would like more information about Boy Scout Troop 10 you can contact our Scoutmaster, Chris Kubiak at 281-382-2643 or email him at
ckubiak95@comcast.net or contact our Committee Chairperson, Taunia Berg, at 832-217-6076 or email her at the.berg.family@gmail.com. You can
also check out the Troop website at www.troopwebhost.org/Troop10Houston. We hope to see you very soon!
