New Caney ISD saw improvements in science scores for the spring 2025 State of Texas Assess- ments of Academic Readiness, but was outper- formed by the state in most categories, according to results released by the Texas Education Agency on June 17. At a glance Of the 20 grade levels and subjects tested, year- over-year performance in NCISD: • Improved in eight areas • Declined in 11 • Remained the same in one The state scores were higher than NCISD’s in all but one category—the Algebra 1 end of course exam—for which 76% of students passed in both NCISD and statewide, according to the results. NCISD officials opted not to comment on the STAAR scores before they are finalized in July. Major takeaways The largest decrease in year-over-year perfor- mance within NCISD was on the seventh-grade math test with 25% approaching grade level this year compared to 48% in 2024. Taking a step back In a June 17 news release from the TEA, Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said there is still room for improvement in public schools. “These results are encouraging and reflect the impact of the strategic supports we’ve imple- mented in recent years,” Morath said.
