· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas high school students have shown improvements across all subjects on the STAAR tests, according to results released on Wednesday. The exams, which include Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History, indicate readiness for college or careers. Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath attributed these gains to focused teaching and the recent ban on cell phone use in classrooms. Approximately 54% of students passed Algebra I, up from 47% last year, while Biology saw a rise to 71%. English I and II also improved slightly. The changes in testing protocols aim to address concerns about overtesting in Texas schools.
