During a recent government meeting, officials presented the 2023-2024 STAR and End of Course (EOC) accountability data for the CFB Independent School District (ISD), highlighting key updates on student performance and upcoming changes in assessment ratings. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is set to release the 2024 A-F accountability ratings, but this has been temporarily paused due to a restraining order related to a third-party evaluation of the STAR test. A hearing originally scheduled for August 26 has been postponed to September 16.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the ratings, the district's curriculum team continues to make necessary adjustments to support student learning. The meeting also addressed the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS), which showed a significant increase in reclassifications of emergent bilingual students, rising from 89 in 2023 to 820 in the current school year. This reflects the effective linguistic support provided by teachers.

In terms of overall student performance, 74% of CFB ISD students met the passing standard across all subjects, aligning closely with regional and state averages. Notably, the district outperformed the state in mathematics, with 82% of algebra testers achieving grade-level proficiency. In science, CFB ISD also performed above the state average in 5th grade, while aligning closely in 8th grade and biology assessments.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on the long-term educational goals established by House Bill 3, which aims for 60% of Texans aged 25 to 34 to hold a degree or certificate by 2030. The district is actively monitoring early childhood literacy and mathematics to ensure progress toward these ambitious targets. As the situation develops, officials committed to keeping the community informed about the status of the accountability ratings and ongoing educational initiatives.
