Summary
At a public hearing Feb. 5, Arlington ISD reported 100% district test participation in 2024–25, maintained 'approaches' rates (67% all subjects; 65% math) and a 10-point gain in college-, career- and military-readiness for the Class of 2024.
Arlington ISD presented its 2024'25 Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) during a public hearing on Feb. 5. Dr. Lopez highlighted district testing and postsecondary outcomes and opened the hearing for comment, which closed with no public speakers.
Key data points included 100% testing participation across the district (up 1 percentage point and above the state rate), an all-subjects "approaches grade level or above" rate of 67% (maintained from 2023'24), and a 65% math "approaches" rate. Dr. Lopez reported a 10-point gain in the district's CCMR (college, career and military readiness) rate for the 2024 graduates, placing the district above state and regional averages on that measure.
The presentation also covered postsecondary enrollment for the Class of 2023 (used for CCMR comparisons) and first-year college GPA trends: four-year public university first-year GPAs improved, with increased shares at or above a 3.0 GPA. Campus-level remarks from trustees highlighted that some gains reflected district strategies to expand multiple CCMR pathways and focused high-school efforts.
The public hearing was opened and closed at 8:54 p.m. with no registered testimony; Dr. Lopez said TAPR materials and related discipline and financial data would be posted on the district website. Trustees asked clarifying questions about CCMR drivers and the difference between TAPR-tracked in-state enrollment and internal national tracking.
The hearing record will be posted per state requirements.
