SCUCISD compares test scores to state, region Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD students, on average, performed at higher levels than the state and region when comparing results of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, test. SCUCISD trustees Jan. 22 reviewed the Texas Academic Performance Report, which is required to be shared with district stakeholders annually. Breaking it down SCUCISD students performed slightly better than Region 20 and the state. However, the percentage of students mastering a subject matter is in line with the region and slightly below the state’s average, according to the report. Kelly Kovacs, assistant superintendent of schools, said the participation rate for the STAAR tests were 99%.
