Humble ISD celebrates gains: 32 state distinctions, campus turnarounds and 'B' district progress noted
Summary
Humble ISD officials and community speakers highlighted substantial gains in the Texas Education Agency accountability ratings: the district’s campuses earned 32 distinctions (up from 11), notable campus turnarounds and several campuses earned multiple distinctions.
District leaders and several students and principals highlighted statewide accountability results at the Humble ISD Board meeting, noting that the district’s campuses earned 32 TEA distinctions this year, up from 11 in 2023.
The district’s showcase presentation included students, principals and campus leaders. Jada Lauren, a student at Sconzo Early College High School, described how her school earned three distinctions in math, science and postsecondary readiness and credited teachers for supporting students. Dr. Roger Brown, the superintendent, and campus principals recognized four campuses that earned three or more distinctions: Sconzo Early College High School, Woodcreek Creek Middle School, Ross Sterling Middle School and Fall Creek Elementary.
Speakers linked the campus gains to focused priorities. Woodcreek’s principal, Dr. Alan Moy, credited improvements in attendance and increased student discourse and teacher collaboration. Ross Sterling moved from a D rating to a B in one year and was noted for a significant turnaround; Fall Creek Elementary earned the highest accountability rating among elementary campuses and also received three distinctions.
Board members and public commenters praised teachers and principals. Several trustees and public speakers — including parent Janie Brenham — thanked district staff for the gains, noted the district’s overall B rating for school progress and underscored the need to continue closing achievement gaps.
Administration noted that distinctions compare campuses to a group of 40 statistically similar Texas schools and that distinctions are awarded to campuses in the top 25% of those comparator groups in one of seven areas. Officials also discussed accountability domains — student achievement, school progress (growth and relative performance), and closing the gaps — and said the district will continue targeted interventions in lower-performing grade bands.
No formal board action was required for the recognitions; the presentation served to inform trustees and the public about 2025 performance and next steps for student growth and college-career readiness.
