Students at Heritage Elementary School wave American flags during a remembrance of the attacks on 9/11. Preliminary projections show Heritage Elementary earned an A rating following the STAAR exams.The Southside Independent School District improved its state accountability rating based on standardized test scores to a B from the C it received in 2019, the last time the state issued ratings for schools and districts, according to preliminary results.
Southside ISD Superintendent Rolando Ramirez credited the improved test scores to the hard work of students and staff, who he said have gone “back to just basic best practices” of constantly reviewing and revising curriculum to meet students’ needs and collaborating among educators to make sure students were catching up on skills they may have missed during virtual instruction.
Overall, the preliminary STAAR score projections for the district of roughly 5,600 students show Southside ISD no longer has any campuses rated F, Ramirez said. In 2019, five campuses received an F rating and two got a C. This year, Heritage Elementary has an A rating, while the other six campuses received a B.
“There were a lot of gaps, but I was able to come and close them because I was able to know what their needs were because I was their teacher last year,” she said.
