Frisco ISD high school students outpaced all state averages on the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness end-of-course assessments, according to results published by the Texas Education Agency in June.
The gist
Students are tested in five subject areas—algebra I, biology, English I and II, and U.S. history.
Four performance levels are used to measure a student’s score:
- Did not meet grade level means a student has not shown a sufficient understanding of the subject matter and skills. Students are unlikely to succeed in the next grade or course without significant academic intervention.
- Approaches grade level means the student has some gaps in the content knowledge and may need additional support. This is still a passing score.
- Meets grade level means the student has a strong understanding of the content and is prepared to progress to the next grade.
- Masters grade level means the student has shown mastery of the course and is skilled in the subject area.
