SCUC ISD provides midyear update on early-childhood math and literacy goals and CCMR progress
Summary
District leaders reported midyear results on new board-approved early-childhood math and literacy goals (third-grade cohort targets through 2029) and reviewed college, career and military readiness (CCMR) strategies; midyear CCMR stood at 54% versus a 72% target for the class of 2025.
District curriculum leaders presented a midyear review of Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD—s early-childhood math and literacy goals and college, career and military readiness (CCMR) targets, describing interventions underway and early results from MAP assessments and CCMR tracking.
The board-approved academic goals focus on third-grade achievement quintiles (the district tracks the average, high-average, and high percentiles on MAP RIT scores) with an achievement target that rises in one-percentage-point increments from 62% for the current third-grade cohort (2024 baseline) to 66% in 2028-29. In cohort terms the board set progressive targets so the group of students who are third graders in 2024 would be expected to reach 70% by seventh grade (2028-29) under the adopted plan.
Curriculum staff explained MAP scoring and percentiles to trustees and presented midyear results: the current third-grade cohort scored about 62.09% at the beginning of the year in the combined average/high-average/high quintiles for math and was at 63.46% at midyear; for literacy the cohort began at 62.69% and was at 62.02% midyear. District K-8 aggregate figures were also shown.
On CCMR, the board had approved a goal of 72% for the class of 2025 (a two-percentage-point annual increase target). Midyear progress shows an actual CCMR rate around 54% for the senior cohort as of the midyear check; staff explained the figure is lower than projected because certain outcomes (for example, dual-enrollment grades, AP/IB exams, or completed transcripts) are not final until later in the year. Staff described a range of interventions: Texas College Bridge courses, expanded TSIA2 testing aligned to Algebra II and English III, mastery prep and tutoring supports, expanded IBC pathways and capstone scheduling, and targeted outreach to students near enlistment or certification thresholds.
Ending Staff said many of the college-prep and pathway changes are producing progress and that final CCMR figures will be reported at year end. The board heard a request to maintain supports for teachers and counselors as the district implements expanded CCMR strategies.
