HPISD reports MAP growth and double-digit STAAR gains in 3rd and 7th grades
Summary
Deputy Superintendent Dr. Shorr Heathcote presented 2023 fall/2024 spring MAP and STAAR results, noting MAP growth in math, STAAR 'Masters' increases in grades 3, 5, 7 and 8, and 12—1 percentage-point increases in 3rd and 7th grades compared with prior results.
At the Highland Park Independent School District work session, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Shorr Heathcote presented spring and fall assessment results showing areas of strength and opportunity across grade levels. The district's MAP results showed growth in math overall but identified opportunities in fourth and fifth grades; in English language arts (MAP ELAR) the assessment also showed growth with areas of opportunity cited. On STAAR, the minutes record that grades 3, 5, 7 and 8 all increased at the "Masters" performance level, while grades 3 and 7 showed approximately 12—1 percentage-point increases and outperformed three comparable high-performing districts.
Dr. Heathcote told trustees campus leadership and committees used needs assessments aligned to the board's balanced scorecard when developing campus improvement goals tied to district priorities. The minutes do not provide student counts, raw score tables, or disaggregated subgroup figures; those details were not specified in the work-session minutes.
