To establish, maintain, and ensure an equitable grading system in Houston ISD, the grading trends of the district must be routinely monitored. It is important to understand how students enrolled in Houston ISD performed academically "pre-pandemic" as compared to the 2021-2022 school year. It is also critical to understand how classroom grades relate to STAAR 3-8/EOC performance. This report analyzes the grades earned by students at the end of the second semester of the 2018-2019 school year (pre-pandemic), the end of the second semester of the 2020-2021 school year (pandemic), and the end of the second semester of the 2021-2022 school year (current year). The first half of the report compares the percentage of students receiving "F" grades, and the second half of the report compares students' STAAR 3-8/EOC performance to the grades earned in corresponding courses. Grades are reported by student grade level, student gender, race/ethnicity, and special populations. Results are further disaggregated by high school level (9th 10th, 11th, and 12th grade, separately) for students enrolled in coursework that fulfill high school graduation requirements.
