Mixed results reported for AISD STAAR scores Austin ISD high school students performed below the state average in three out of five subjects on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness End-of-Course assessment, according to results released by the Texas Education Agency on June 7. AISD student scores slightly decreased from 2023 in U.S. history, English I and algebra I, and increased
slightly for biology and English II. Statewide, student scores remained consistent in biology from the year prior, but scores were slightly lower for algebra as well as English I and II. AISD scores for U.S. history were slightly higher than the state average. What they’re saying “While we celebrate the gains in English II, we must also acknowledge the areas where student performance has not recovered to prepandemic levels,” TEA Commissioner Mike Morath said in a news release.
