Keller Independent School District administrators told trustees that state A–F accountability results for 2024–25 yielded a district rating of B and identified specific campuses for targeted improvement.
Superintendent Doctor Wilson asked curriculum staff to present results; assistant administrators said the district’s ratings were based on recently released STAR (STAAR) exam results and federal indicator data. The district reported 13 campuses earned an A, 17 a B, seven a C and two a D; the two D campuses are Heritage and North Riverside Elementary.
Why it matters: State accountability influences federal and state monitoring, triggers targeted interventions for Title I campuses and guides district professional development and resource allocation. Administration said the state’s accountability system — complex and updated every five years — uses three domains (student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps) and that the district will use a structured continuous improvement model to support identified campuses.
Administration described the continuous‑improvement approach: district teams will set success criteria in instructional leadership, professional learning community work and classroom instruction; campuses will undergo progress monitoring every nine weeks and quarterly team reviews. Staff emphasized targeted focus on mathematics, particularly fourth‑grade math, at the identified campuses.
Board members asked about family engagement; staff replied campus improvement plans will be presented to campus education improvement committees (CEIC) and parents will be updated through CEIC meetings and other communications. Trustees asked about teacher experience and shared leadership mentorship opportunities; staff said district principal meetings and cross‑campus collaboration are already being used to share practices.
Next steps: The district will begin support and monitoring immediately, provide training and report back to the board on progress on the scheduled quarterly timelines.
