CSISD reports 2025 STAAR gains, 49 distinction designations and 'met' state accountability rating
Summary
District staff presented 2025 STAAR (STAR) results showing College Station ISD scores above state averages in most grades and subjects, growth in the district's 'masters' performance and 49 campus distinction designations. Administration reported a district accountability score of 83 with domain scores for achievement, progress and closing gaps.
A district staff member presented College Station ISDâs preliminary 2025 STAAR (STAR) results and state accountability calculations to the board on Sept. 16, reporting that CSISD student performance exceeded state averages in most gradeâsubject combinations and that the district earned 49 distinction designations in 2025.
Key takeaways
- CSISD scored above the Texas state averages in grades 3 through 8 reading and mathematics and in highâschool endâofâcourse exams, according to the district presentation. - The district highlighted growth at the âmastersâ level (collegeâandâcareer readiness): staff said 75% of tested grades and subjects increased masters performance from 2024 to 2025. - On state accountability (the combined system that weights student achievement, school progress and closing gaps), CSISD reported an overall score of 83 with domain scores near the lowâ80s: Student Achievement 84, School Progress 81 and Closing the Gaps 79. - CSISD received 49 distinction designations in 2025 (up from 37 in 2024 and 21 in 2023), a recognition program that compares campus performance across a range of metrics including attendance, advanced coursework and mastery rates.
Staff context and cautions
Presenters reminded trustees that STAAR results are an annual snapshot and not a complete measure of individual student growth; trustees and staff said they also monitor MAP and other local measures to track progress. Staff noted some subjectâbyâsubject variation and said that modest declines of 1â2 percentage points in a measure are not necessarily a systemic issue but that larger, doubleâdigit declines would prompt targeted investigations into curriculum alignment and instructional supports.
Trustee questions and next steps
Trustees asked for comparisons across years and the relation between MAP predictive measures and STAAR outcomes; staff said MAP predicted more than 95% of STAAR outcomes across tested grades and subjects, which staff used as confidence in local growth metrics. Administrators said they would continue to dig into standardsâlevel performance and present campusâlevel diagnostic data to guide targeted interventions.
Ending
District staff said the data is public on TexasEducation.gov and that they will continue to report more detailed campus and subgroup analyses to the board and the community.
