So far, the two programs, Eureka and Carnegie, have been implemented in 78 HISD schools as part of a pilot program. This was the largest drop in more than 30 years.
Nationally, 9-year-old students saw their scores drop 7 percentage points in math from 2020 to 2022, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress tests, which since the 1970s has tracked student achievement.
This trend in declining math scores isn’t unique to HISD. “Thus, when students have their instruction interrupted, it often takes more time for them to recover, in math specifically, than other subjects.” “Concepts within mathematics (are) built on top of each other sequentially,” Superintendent Millard House II said during a board meeting in late September. The district’s goal is 70 percent performing at grade level by 2024.Īlso about 62 percent of first graders performed at grade level, equal to 2019, but under the district's goal.

In 2019, 69 percent of third graders were performing at grade level, which dropped 6 percentage points by the end of the last school year. HISD officials hope the new curriculums will bring students up to speed and better prepare them for the standardized tests.įor the 2021-2022 school year, many grades scored lower on the STAAR test than they did pre-COVID. The Texas Education Agency, which plays a role in designing the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), approved the curriculums. Both programs are used throughout the United States. The district is trading out a math curriculum it designed for programs developed by Eureka for elementary school and Carnegie Learning for middle and high school. Houston Independent School District is switching up its math curriculum in an attempt to help more of its students perform at grade level after the pandemic, when many fell behind.
