Summary
District staff told trustees the district''s unofficial College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) results are high: a district-wide 95% CCMR and individual high school results above 90% amid the state's move to raise CCMR thresholds under HB3.
United ISD''s instructional accountability team told trustees at the Jan. 14 workshop that the district''s unofficial College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) outcomes substantially exceed state targets.
Christina Cabello, executive director for instructional accountability, said the state raised CCMR expectations and that local unit calculations (using TEA data) indicate an unofficial district CCMR of 95%. "Our district is at a 95," Cabello said, noting that the district used official state data to model what ratings would have been despite litigation that paused official designations for recent years.
Cabello provided campus-level results: United High (97%), United South High (94%), Alexander High (92%), and LBJ (97%). She said the district offers early-college options at all four comprehensive high schools and has steps in place to keep students registered for required courses and tests, including Saturday testing opportunities when schedules conflict with extracurriculars.
Cabello said staff will return at the end of the 2024–25 school year with finalized percentages and a proposal for new five-year goals aligned with the next accountability cycle.
