Tomball ISD students consistently scored higher than the state average in reading, mathematics, science and social studies in the spring administration of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, according to results released July 1.
"I am a very proud superintendent for many reasons, but to consider the challenges we have faced in education since 2019, our 2022 STAAR results (Grades 3-8) are exceptionally strong. Not only do we lead all surrounding districts across the board in all performance levels and in all subjects, we also remain extremely competitive in comparison to similar districts across the state. These results demonstrate positive growth as well as validate the hard work put forth by our dedicated teachers and students this past year," TISD Superintendent Martha Salazar-Zamora said in an email.
Reading scores were among some of the highest with at least 88% of students in grades 3-8 approaching grade level and all but one grade over 70% for meeting grade level. Math scores were also high with at least 86% of third through eighth graders approaching and all but one grade at 62% or higher.
