Episode Details

Tarrant County’s latest state test results reveal a mixed picture: math scores are up, reading remains flat, and third graders are especially struggling. While 41% of students met math benchmarks — a two-point gain — only 51% read at grade level, unchanged from last year. Third graders fared worse, with just 46% reading on track — down one percent. The state’s new $400 tutoring program, launching this fall, aims to help struggling readers, especially as districts face potential takeovers. The Education Commissioner also hinted that cell phone bans may be contributing to improved middle school reading scores.
