Cy-Fair ISD outperformed the state in all but two categories in the spring 2025 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness—eighth grade math and sixth grade math—according to results released by the Texas Education Agency on June 17.
Of the 20 test grade levels and subjects tested, year-over-year performance in CFISD:
  • Improved in nine
  • Declined in eight
  • Saw no change in three
“We are proud of the growth and sustained achievement reflected in our recent STAAR results. At the same time, we recognize there are key areas that still require focused attention and improvement," CFISD Chief Academic Officer Tonya Goree said in a June 17 email.

The breakdown
  • The largest decrease in year-over-year performance within the district was on the eighth grade math test—the only subject and grade level in which CFISD performed below the state overall.
  • In general, reading proficiency improved year over year at both the state and district level.
  • CFISD fifth grade students saw the biggest increase in passage rates for science with 74% approaching grade level this year compared to 65% in 2024.
  • CFISD high school students showed no change or slight declines across the board in end-of-course exam passage rates.
Zooming out

In a June 17 news release from the TEA, Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said there is still room for improvement in public schools across the state.

“These results are encouraging and reflect the impact of the strategic supports we’ve implemented in recent years,” Morath said. “With [reading language arts] scores now surpassing pre-pandemic levels, we are seeing meaningful signs of academic recovery and progress. While this year also saw some improvements in math, clearly more work is needed.”
