College Station ISD posts strong 2025 STAR results and an overall accountability rating of 83
Summary
District assessment staff reported College Station ISD outperformed the state across subjects in 2025 STAR results, increased the share of students at the master's level, and earned an overall accountability rating of 83 with 49 campus distinction designations.
District assessment staff presented the district’s 2025 STAR performance and state accountability ratings at the Sept. 16 workshop. Speaker 13 said College Station ISD scored above the state average across grades and subjects and highlighted growth in the share of students achieving the master level, which the presenter described as an indicator of college-and-career readiness.
Speaker 13 summarized that district performance, school progress and closing-the-gaps subdomains produced an overall accountability rating of 83 for the district. The presenter said the district exceeded the state in third-through-eighth-grade reading, math and science measures and that MAP growth projections matched STAR results in over 95% of reviewed areas.
Board members asked about interpretation of year-to-year comparisons given different student cohorts; Speaker 13 noted aggregate comparisons are one data piece and that cohort and individual-student growth analyses are part of district follow-up work. Trustees discussed testing design changes, concerns about computer grading for extended responses and options to request rescoring where state rules permit.
Speaker 13 noted that distinction designations increased from 21 in 2023 to 49 in 2025. The presenter closed by saying the full accountability data are public on the Texas Education Agency website and invited questions for deeper campus-level analysis.
Next steps: staff will continue campus-level reviews of standards and growth measures and provide trustees with follow-up materials for any campuses showing declines.
