Alvin ISD is aiming to raise STAAR reading and math scores by around five percentage points through 2030 following a presentation reviewed by the board of trustees at its Oct. 6 workshop.
What you need to know
Under House Bill 3, passed during the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019, school districts are required to establish a five-year plan focused on improving student outcomes in early childhood literacy and math, and college, career and military readiness, or CCMR, according to district documents.
The board reviewed the following goals:
Increase the percentage of students meeting or exceeding grade level on the STAAR reading assessment from 63% in 2026 to 68% by 2030
Increase the percentage of students meeting or exceeding grade level on the STAAR math assessment from 58% in 2026 to 63% by 2030
Increase the percentage of high school graduates meeting CCMR requirements from 81% in 2025 to 98% by 2030
Diving in deeper
To improve literacy outcomes, administrators who have not completed the HB 3 Texas Reading Academy will participate in the program during the 2026-27 school year. The district also plans to provide teachers with support in small-group instruction, writing and comprehension, according to district documents.
The district’s literacy priorities include:
For math, the district will monitor student progress through unit tests and analysis of student work during instructional coach meetings and campus professional learning communities, district documents show.
Also of note
To improve CCMR outcomes, counselors will continue to meet with high school students and establish individual plans beginning with freshman four-year planning meetings. An executive CCMR team has also been created to address long-range planning for the class of 2030 and beyond, district documents show.
Students can meet CCMR requirements in several ways, including:
Earning at least three hours of dual-credit coursework
Earning an associate degree
Enlisting in the armed forces or Texas National Guard
Meeting criteria on an Advanced Placement, or AP, exam
What’s next
The board will receive a mid-year review in February with campus performance and assessment data, along with the percentage of students meeting CCMR requirements at that point in the school year, district officials said.
