As was the case in spring 2024, the district saw a higher rate of passing in grades three through eight compared to the state, according to results released by the Texas Education Agency, or TEA, on June 17.
The overview
Across each grade level in reading and math scores for grades three through eight, CCISD saw a higher rate of students who approached grade level, which is considered passing, compared to the state averages, according to the data.
This was the case as well for science and social studies, which saw CCISD exceed state averages in both exams, data shows. Science exams are taken in grades five and eight, while social studies is taken in grade eight.
Meanwhile, results for the state show reading scores improved across nearly every grade level, while performance varied in mathematics, according to a June 17 news release from the TEA.
Diving in deeper
Many of the district’s grade levels saw no change from 2024 to 2025. Areas that saw changes included sixth grade math and third grade reading, which increased by 3 and 4 percentage points, respectively.
The largest decline for the district was in its fifth grade math scores, which, along with the state, saw a decline of 3 percentage points.
In science, CCISD saw improvements in both fifth and eighth grade, with the passing rate for fifth grade increasing by 5 percentage points and eighth grade improving by 1 percentage point, data shows.
Eighth grade science, however, saw the largest decrease in its passing rate of any test taken in grades three through eight for CCISD, declining by 4 percentage points, according to the data.
Science for the state broadly also saw improvements, while social studies across the state declined by 1 percentage point, according to the TEA news release.
What they’re saying
In the June 17 news release, Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said the results are “encouraging,” noting the reading scores now surpass pre-pandemic levels. However, he added that despite some improvements in math, “clearly more work is needed.”
“We are seeing meaningful signs of academic recovery and progress,” he said in the release.
