For the 2020-21 school year, Clear Creek ISD students scored higher percentages across the board against the state and the rest of their region for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness.

The data was presented at the Feb. 28 CCISD board of trustees meeting. Since the 2020 STAAR test was canceled due to COVID-19, the data is only reported for the 2019 and 2021 administered tests.

STAAR performances are broken up into three different performance rates: Approaches Grade Level or above, Meets Grade Level or above and Masters Grade Level.

For CCISD, 78% of students across all grade levels and subjects were given the rating of Approaches Grade Level or above. Of the 78%, 53% received the rating of Meets Grade Level or above, and 26% of the students in the original 78% received the rating of Masters Grade Level.

“You’ll see in the data compared to the state and region, and you’ll see again that we are above the state and the region in those,” said Sheridan Henley, executive director of assessment and evaluation for CCISD.


Comparatively, 67% of students statewide received the rating of Approaches Grade Level or above, while the rest of the region that CCISD is a part of had 68% of students meet that rating.

This trend of performing above the state and region continued for the ratings of Meets Grade Level or above as well as Masters Grade Level.

For the 22% of students who did not pass the STAAR test, they still have multiple chances to retake the assessment and try to meet the passing standard.
