Humble ISD presents annual report showing decade of enrollment growth, mixed academic results
Summary
District Director of Accountability Dr. Wilson Rogers presented the Humble ISD annual report, citing a 10‑year enrollment increase to about 48,502 students and mixed performance on TEA accountability measures; some metrics are lagging because state data are released on different schedules.
Dr. Wilson Rogers, Humble ISD director of accountability, presented the districtannual report and opened a public hearing on the document, saying the compilation uses Texas Education Agency (TEA) data released as the TAPR/PDF report.
Rogers said district enrollment has risen from 39,522 in October 2014 to 48,502 in the October 2024 PEIMS snapshot. He said nearly every student group increased during the decade and that the share of economically disadvantaged students rose by about 18 percentage points over that period.
The TAPR material, Rogers said, is disaggregated by student group, ethnicity and socioeconomic status and includes school and staff demographics. He reported a 95% student participation rate on STAR/ELC assessments for the 2024 school year.
On academic performance, Rogers said Humble ISD was at or above the state at the "approaches" level in three of four content areas and just below the state in mathematics at that level. At the "meets" level the district was at or above the state in three content areas, and at the "masters" level Humble ISD exceeded the state only in social studies while trailing in reading, math and science.
Graduation and dropout rates in the TAPR are lagging indicators, Rogers noted, reporting the districtfour-year cohort had 3,588 graduates in the class of 2023; the TAPR shows roughly 22% enrolled at four-year institutions, 24% at two-year institutions and 7% at private institutions for that cohort. Rogers reminded the board that CCMR (college, career and military readiness) and some graduation/dropout and accountability measures reflect earlier school years because of TEA reporting timelines.
Rogers said the annual report package includes items on financial standard status, district accreditation, campus improvement plans (previously approved by the board), violent and criminal incident reporting, student program participation counts and a glossary with definitions and methodology; he said the report is posted online and available in Spanish and paper copies are at the district office and campuses.
When Trustee Lamond Dixon asked whether the postsecondary enrollment figures included both in‑state and out‑of‑state institutions, Rogers answered yes, the counts include both. Trustee Joe Scarfo asked Rogers to explain why some data appear old; Rogers reiterated that TEA releases different elements at different times and the district must present the report within 90 days of TEArelease. Rogers said additional HB 3 progress reporting will be presented to the board in the summer as required by Texas Education Code section 39.306.
Rogers closed by reminding trustees the report (the TAPR PDF) contains many sections and that stakeholders may contact his office with questions.
