Episode Details

Austin ISD is under fire after STAAR scores at three middle schools—Webb, Burnett, and Dobie—plummeted far below state averages, with some students scoring as low as eleven percent in math and reading. Despite past efforts to turn things around, including a failed charter school attempt, the district now faces looming state takeover threats, potential school closures, and even a payroll loan. With the clock ticking and the TEA watching closely, officials say they’re seeing some progress but need more data before committing to major changes—all while students, teachers, and families hang in the balance.
