Van ISD presents 2024–25 TAPR: district posts gains in CCMR while some content areas lag state benchmarks
Summary
At a public hearing to satisfy Texas Education Code requirements, district staff presented the Texas Academic Performance Report, noting a 90% college, career and military readiness (CCMR) rate and 0% dropout rate for 2024–25 while some "meets and above" indicators remain below the state in specific subjects and grades.
Carla, speaking for district administration, presented the Van Independent School District's 2024–25 Texas Academic Performance Report to the board and public to meet statutory public‑hearing requirements.
Carla said the district will upload the TAPR and slideshow to the district website and walked trustees through key indicators, including STAR performance and content‑area "meets and above" percentages. She highlighted that the district's college, career and military readiness (CCMR) rate for the 2024–25 graduating class was 90%, compared with a statewide figure of 81.8%. "So let me restate that 90% of our graduates in 2425 were considered either college or military ready by the state," she said. She also reported a district dropout rate of 0% for 2024, which she described as a reason to celebrate.
At the same time, Carla pointed to areas for close attention. For some grades and content areas the district's "meets and above" percentages remain below the state, and she noted eighth‑grade social studies as a challenge where district meets percentages trailed state and regional averages. Carla described district actions to address gaps — including targeted monitoring, high‑quality instructional materials (HQIM), instructional coaching, nine benchmark assessments per year and collaboration with Region 7 supports — and said campus and district leaders set measurable goals such as aiming for 60% of students at grade level or above on STAR in reading and math. Carla emphasized that some domain‑level identification (Van Middle School) stems from closing the gaps measures rather than overall campus letter grades.
Board members asked about domain‑3 tracking and targets; district staff said data is tracked to the student level with regular benchmark and unit assessment reviews and that set goals are intentionally above the minimum required by the state. The TAPR packet and full data slides were placed in the board packet for public review and will be posted online.
