Is HISD the only school district with TAKS scores to report?
I see the Chronicle is reporting HISD's results from the second round of fifth-grade TAKS testing:
Results released Friday by HISD show that 81 percent of fifth-graders have passed the math portion of the test after two tries. In April, just 67 percent had passed. About 77 percent of fifth-graders passed the reading portion of the test after two tries, up from 62 percent in April.
"They gained 14 points," spokesman Terry Abbott said. "We're pleased with that."
Even with those improvements, HISD's passing rates in both subjects still lag behind the state averages, which increased 9 percentage points to 88 percent passing math and 11 percentage points to 86 percent passing reading after the second administration in late April.
I have a question: why haven't we seen TAKS scores for any other school district in the Houston-area? Cy-Fair ISD bills itself as "the largest recognized school district in Texas." I would be interested to see its scores as well as other Houston-area districts' scores, such as Aldine, Spring Branch and Alief.
