Major takeaways
- The largest decrease in year-over-year performance within KISD was on the seventh grade math test—the only subject and grade level in which the district performed below the state overall.
- KISD eighth grade students taking the math STAAR saw the biggest increase in passage rates with 78% approaching grade level this year compared to 71% in 2024.
- In general, at the district level, reading proficiency improved year over year while math proficiency decreased.
- Statewide, overall, high school students showed declines or no change in scores for five out of six end-of-course exam passage rates, but KISD students improved both their Biology and English 1 scores for 2025 compared to 2024.
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.”
