Eanes ISD students in third to eighth grades continue to have a higher average of students passing than the rest of the state since 2021 and higher scores for reading than math.
Diving in deeper
EISD students demonstrated academic growth over the past two years in most subjects with average passing rates moving gradually upward since 2021.
Average passage rates were higher or the same as what they were in 2022 in all subjects except third grade reading and eighth grade social studies, in which results showed a slight decline, according to TEA data.
Zooming out
The standardized tests were redesigned in 2023 following the passage of House Bill 3906 in 2019 and were administered almost exclusively online.
Across the state, a similar or higher percentage of students met expectations for these grade levels this year in comparison to 2022, as previously reported by Community Impact.
What they’re saying
"Eanes ISD students performed well on the revamped STAAR 2.0; we are proud of our students and pleased with the instruction they received,” said Molly May, EISD assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment, in a statement. “As we continue to analyze the data as a district, by campus and by individual student, we will work with campuses to identify those students who need accelerated instruction and put plans in place as required by TEA. We will report results at a board meeting in September."
What’s next
Parents can access their student’s scores at www.texasassessment.gov.
On Sept. 28, the TEA will issue accountability ratings for districts and public schools across the states, scored on an A-F scale based on Student Achievement, School Progress and Closing the Gaps for at-risk students.
