Students can receive one of four scores:
- Did not meet grade level
- Approaches grade level
- Meets grade level
- Masters grade level
“Approaches grade level” is considered a passing grade. This indicates that a student is “likely to succeed in the next grade or course with targeted academic intervention,” according to the
TEA.
The greatest decline was seen in eighth grade social studies and sixth grade reading, with rates dropping four percentage points. Although scores declined slightly, they are higher than the state average.
The TEA administers end-of-course exams for high school students. LTISD outperformed the state in every subject.
A closer lookThe state also administers a Spanish STAAR for third through fifth grade in math and reading. The Spanish STAAR is “administered to eligible students for whom a Spanish version of STAAR is the most appropriate measure of their academic progress,” according to the TEA website.
LTISD underperforms the state in every metric except third grade math. The rate of students “approaching grade level” in fourth grade math jumped from 0% in 2025 to 44%.
