Sep 19, 2026

District officials told trustees MISD earned an 87 district score—its highest under the new Texas accountability framework—earned 47 distinctions (up from 26), and recorded a 97% CCMR metric; administrators warned of upcoming test changes under House Bill 8.

Dr. Garza walked trustees through the state's three accountability domains—student achievement (STAAR and CCMR), school progress (growth and relative performance) and closing performance gaps—and explained how the state calculates district and school scale scores. He said the district's composite score was 87, the highest MISD has received under the new system, and that 47 campus distinctions were earned this year, up from 26 last year.
