Allen ISD has closed the book on the 2024-25 school year with a final report on academic performance and accountability delivered in February.
The full story
Jennifer Wilhelm, assistant superintendent of Learner Services, reviewed the district’s performance during a Feb. 23 board of trustees meeting. The annual report includes eight components measuring academic performance, financial standards, campus performance objectives and more.
Much of this data had been reported previously, but the annual report and public hearing is required by the Texas Education Code.
“Tonight’s presentation on the annual report is a component within our collective efforts and partnership with the board in monitoring academic performance within an academic school year,” Wilhelm said.
Zooming in
Wilhelm’s presentation included an overview of the 2024-25 Texas Academic Performance Report that measures student performance on state standardized tests. State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness tests are issued in core subjects such as reading and language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.
In the 2024-25 school year, a higher percentage of Allen ISD students met state standards compared to the rest of Region 10 and the state, according to Wilhelm’s presentation. The data included all students taking STAAR exams at Allen ISD.
“We are performing well above the state and region performance levels, outpacing performance at the state and region by 20 percentage points or more,” Wilhelm said.
Allen ISD also outpaced the region and state in percentage of students approaching grade level, which is considered passing, and mastering grade level, according to the presentation.
Also of note
Wilhelm’s presentation also included a demographic breakdown of Allen ISD students and several indicators related to college and career readiness, performance in advanced placement classes, attendance and completion rates.
