· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas high school students have shown improvements across all subjects on the STAAR end-of-course exams, according to results released this week. The tests, which included Algebra I, Biology, English I, English II, and U.S. History, indicated that 54% of students in Algebra I met grade-level expectations, an increase from 47% last year. Biology scores returned to pre-pandemic levels with 71% of students meeting standards. English performance also improved slightly, with 55% in English I and 60% in English II meeting grade-level criteria. These gains are attributed to focused instruction and a ban on cell phone use in classrooms. Changes to the STAAR testing system are set for the 2027-28 school year.
