This school year, ninth grade students and seventh and eighth grade students enrolled in high school courses began taking the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) End of Course (EOC) exams rather than the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) tests. <\/p>\n<p>School officials say TISD saw improved performance in math, an area where some Tyler ISD students have struggled in the past. School district leaders say they\u2019re specifically pleased with the performance of African-American and economically disadvantaged students on the math tests. Science has also been an area of focus for Tyler ISD, and officials say the hard work of teachers and staff has again paid off. The average number of Tyler ISD students who passed the Biology EOC exam equaled the statewide average of 87 percent.<\/p>\n<p>On the flipside, only 63% of Tyler ISD students who took the English I Reading EOC met the Level II passing standard, and on English I Writing, 45% of Tyler ISD students passed. Although these results are reflective of a statewide trend, they are below Tyler ISD\u2019s expectations. Officials say the school district is committed to better prepare students for success on STAAR by analyzing the data provided by the state and leading training sessions for teachers targeting low performing categories.
