Texas high school students’ STAAR scores show gains in STEM fields, struggles in reading and literacy
- The Texas Education Agency released Spring 2025 STAAR high school End-of-Course exam results on Tuesday, showing mixed student performance statewide and in Austin.
- These results come after a 2023 STAAR redesign and failed legislative efforts to replace the exam despite concerns over testing's instructional impact.
- Students improved in Algebra I and biology, with statewide proficiency at 47% and 62% respectively, while scores in English I, English II, and U.S. history declined.
- In Austin, 43% met Algebra I grade level, up from 39%, but only 29% of economically disadvantaged students met English I grade level, compared to 39% statewide.
- The results highlight persistent achievement gaps and underscore calls for renewed focus on literacy and targeted strategies to support underserved students statewide.
