Summary
District staff told trustees the 2024'25 Texas Academic Performance Report shows Sharyland ISD earned an A accountability rating and a 97.1% CCMR rate, while its special-education determination was listed as "needs assistance." The full report and data were posted to the district website.
Ms. Jennifer, a district staff presenter, told the Sharyland ISD Board of Trustees during a public hearing that the district's Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) for 2024'25 shows an overall accountability rating of "A" and a postsecondary distinction for the district.
"The accountability rating for Sharyland ISD which is an A for 2024, 2025," Ms. Jennifer said, adding that the district also earned a postsecondary distinction. She noted the district reported a special-education determination of "needs assistance," saying that the district has identified targeted areas for improvement in outcomes and compliance for students receiving special education services.
The presentation included multiple district metrics: 9,833 students enrolled in 2024'25, 1,361 staff members, a 94.2% district attendance rate for the 2023'24 year and a near-zero dropout rate, Ms. Jennifer said. She highlighted the district's College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) rate of 97.1% for 2024'25.
Ms. Jennifer also reviewed campus- and subject-level STAAR results, participation rates and accelerated-learning measures for students who did not previously meet standards. The TAPR slides and a PDF with supporting documentation were posted on the district website, she said, and she invited trustees and the public to request a physical copy.
An unidentified board member asked whether the district could add a national comparison column to the report; Ms. Jennifer replied, "I can definitely try to get that for you." The district did not provide a national comparison during the hearing.
Why it matters: The TAPR is a required annual accountability document (Texas Education Code, chapter 39) that summarizes student performance, participation and other required indicators; the board will use the information to guide improvement plans and monitor compliance. The "needs assistance" special-education status signals the district will focus on compliance and outcomes for that student group and may require follow-up actions from administrative services and campuses.
What's next: Ms. Jennifer said the 2024'25 presentation and supporting documents remain available on the Sharyland ISD website and that the district will report the 2024'25 accreditation status later this spring.
