Taking a step back

According to the release, students across the state showed growth in reading but didn’t see as much progress in math. About 43% of Texas students met grade-level standards in math, compared to 50% in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Community Impact reporting.

Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said the overall results around the state reflect “strategic supports” that have been implemented recently, however, he said there is still room for improvement.

“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,” Morath said in the June 17 release.
