Commissioner Mike Morath praised the math progress, linking it to more students thriving in advanced classes, and even hinted the new school cell phone ban might be boosting reading scores, though that’s unconfirmed. Seventh and eighth graders saw modest reading improvements. Individual student scores will soon be shared by districts, and statewide data is available on the TEA research portal.
