2 district schools see improvement
Going forward
To improve academic performance, Cooper Elementary has proposed doing the following, Principal Angela Harris said: • Allowing students chances to fix their behavior • Communicating progress • Providing coherent, tiered instruction Wagner Middle School plans to build on the following measures, Principal Danielle Holloway said: • Changing how instruction is delivered • Monitoring student progress through assessments • Providing intervention and enrichment through small groups • Offering daily professional learning communities for teachers Additionally, both plans detail hiring “high- quality, turnaround-minded teachers and leaders” for the 2025-26 school year.
In the 2024-25 school year, both campuses received a C rating. Despite the improvement, GISD will continue to implement its turnaround plans, Superintendent Devin Padavil said. “These two schools saw incredible growth,” Padavil said. “Because of that growth, we’re going to basically not need a turnaround plan anymore, but we’re still going to keep the work going.”
Georgetown ISD saw improved performance at Cooper Elementary School and Wagner Middle School in Texas Education Agency ratings released Aug. 15. In June, the district adopted state-mandated turnaround plans detailing how to improve performance at each campus after they received consecutive Fs, dating back to before the COVID-19 pandemic.
