College Station ISD holds public hearing on Texas academic performance report for 2023–24
Summary
At a public hearing, district staff reviewed the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) for the 2023–24 school year, saying College Station ISD outperformed state averages on many measures including graduation and several STAAR subjects, while some college- and career-readiness indicators trailed the state.
College Station Independent School District opened a public hearing to present the Texas Academic Performance Report for the 2023–24 school year and to allow public comment.
The presenter summarized district results for STAAR tests, graduation and dropout rates, college, career and military readiness (CCMR) indicators, Advanced Placement and dual-credit participation, staff and student demographics, and other state-required data. The district reported a 95.8% graduation rate for the Class of 2023 (1,030 graduates) and an annual dropout rate of 2.8%, both cited as stronger than statewide averages. CCMR graduates totaled 70.5%, described as slightly below the state level. The presenter also said district AP participation for 11th–12th graders was 30.7% and that 81.5% of students who took AP exams met the AP performance criteria; SAT and ACT averages were reported as 1,132 and 24.5, respectively.
The TAPR presentation also covered the district profile, staff counts and credentials, special education determinations, campus performance objectives, and reported incidents required by state reporting. The presenter noted College Station ISD is listed as an accredited district in the report and said the full TAPR materials are available online. After the presentation the board opened the hearing for questions and public comment and then closed the hearing.
The district emphasized that the TAPR is a required public report and that the hearing is the local forum to review the compiled state data for the district and its campuses. No formal action was recorded during the hearing portion; the presentation concluded with the board inviting public comments and questions.
