The results include assessments in Algebra I, English I, English II, Biology and U.S. History. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Spring 2026 results reflect continued academic progress for Texas students. Statewide, the percentage of students meeting grade level increased across all EOC subject areas and student groups. Biology, English I and English II continued their upward trajectory, with student performance now surpassing pre-pandemic levels. U.S. History also posted gains, with 70% of students meeting grade level. In Algebra I, 54% of students met grade level, representing a seven-percentage-point increase from last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Image<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/spring-2026-eoc-results-press-release_0.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Results were also encouraging for emergent bilingual students, students receiving special education services and economically disadvantaged students.
