The Texas Education Code requires the district to publish the TAPR annually, which details students’ State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, scores from the 2023-24 school year as well as student demographics, attendance rates and more.
By the numbers
SCUCISD makeup is predominantly Hispanic and white, which is consistent with the district’s 2020-21 report and the 2023-24 report.
In the 2020-21 report, 28.3% of SCUCISD students were economically disadvantaged. According to the 2023-24 report, the percentage of economically disadvantaged students has risen to 37.5%, marking a 32.5% increase.
Similarly, the percentage of students classified as “at-risk,” which is defined as students likely to fail academically or drop out, grew from 32% in 2020-21 to 36.8% in 2023-24.
Breaking it down
Out of the 15,129 students in SCUCISD, 52% are meeting grade level, according to the 2023-24 report.
SCUCISD outperformed the state in reading, math, science and social studies on the 2024 STAAR exams.
SCUCISD students are also outperforming the state in mastery of science and social studies, according to the 2023-24 report. However, the percentage of SCUCISD students mastering all subjects has decreased from 2021.
What’s next
