Midland Independent School District (MISD) has announced the launch of a website where parents of students in grades 3 through 8 can view their child’s State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) scores. The announcement was made on Facebook.
"Starting June 14, Texas families can log in to the district's parent portal to access their child's STAAR 3rd-8th grade results. Dive into your child's scores to ensure they're on track for graduation. Gain valuable insights into your child's performance—Log In & Learn More," said ISD, Midland ISD, according to Facebook.
Earlier this week, the district reported in a news release that they observed improvements in four out of five areas at the meets level, including English I, II, Biology, and Algebra I at the high school level. According to MISD, this information will be used to guide decisions regarding action plans in content areas.

Superintendent Dr. Stephanie Howard stated that the district is striving to be at or above the state performance level in all areas and expressed satisfaction with narrowing the gap between the district and the state in biology.
"I am proud to report that on Biology and U.S. History, we saw the highest district scores in five years," said Howard. "We believe that actions taken this past year, such as reforming literacy in our K-8 classrooms, will have a great impact on student performance in the future."
Howard added, "They also reinforce the action we took to bring back our content specialists, which we refer to as content coordinators. While both actions will pay off in years to come, we must focus on making short-term gains while aiming for long-term systemic improvement. We are committed to improving student outcomes and working to reverse the trend of performing below the state average that the district has seen over the years."
