After 'widespread underperformance' on the state's STAAR tests, San Antonio ISD plans to standardize its curriculum, but not until 2025-26.

Students sit in a classroom at Dorie Miller Elementary School on San Antonio's East Side before the school's closure. Only 33% of SAISD's students in grades three through eight met grade-level standards for reading, and only 10% of fifth graders met or exceeded science standards.

“It is impossible for us right now,” he said. “It will be disruptive, the logistics of this are not fair to teachers.” “We should be looking at ways to disrupt this, right?” she said. “Let’s be a little disruptive, we need to be.” “At the end of each nine-week period, we take a common assessment, we analyze the data, develop our action plan, and then monitor to see if they’re being effective or not,” she said. “On a yearly basis we know within a couple of points where we’re gonna perform.” topic areas where students show the greatest need and determine specific question types that caused students to struggle.

Luis De La Garza, the principal of Woodlawn Academy, made that suggestion after calling this year’s low scores “a serious punch in the mouth.”
