Summary
Texas posted year-over-year improvement in all five high school STAAR end-of-course subjects, with the Education Agency releasing results ahead of Tuesday’s broader grades 3-8 score drop.
Austin ISD also improved across all five subjects, reaching or exceeding pre-pandemic levels in high school testing; it scored 68% in English I and II, above statewide rates of 55% and 60%.
Math remains the main watchpoint in the next release, with analysts tracking whether younger students have recovered to grade level after pandemic disruptions.
Tuesday’s data will also include science scores for grades 5 and 8 and 8th-grade social studies, while the effect on school accountability ratings will not be known until August.
