AISD Superintendent Carol Nelson said the district is proud of the progress reflected in the early data.
“We are encouraged by the preliminary STAAR results and proud of the progress reflected in the early data,” she said in an email June 17. “These results are a testament to the focused efforts of improving student outcomes and the commitment of our staff to serving our students each and every day.”
Stacy Guzzetta, FISD’s executive director of student operations, said in an email June 17 that FISD’s scores “reflect the hard work, dedication and collaboration” of its teachers and students.
"While STAAR scores represent just one measure from a single day, they offer valuable insight into our students’ academic growth and performance,” she said. “We are incredibly proud of every student and the progress they made throughout the school year."
Charles Allen, PISD’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, said the district will continue to strengthen curriculum alignment to support teachers and deliver “consistent, high-quality instruction” across the district to have stronger outcomes next year.
“Pearland ISD is encouraged by areas of growth in this year’s STAAR results and is using the data to inform planning for continued academic progress,” he said in an email June 17. “While there were slight declines in some areas, the district remains committed to empowering all students through focused instruction and targeted supports.”
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.”
