During the first regular meeting of the Canyon Independent School District Board of Education for 2021, district officials looked back at some academic data, looking at how the district can be better in the future.
Cameron Rosser, the district’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, presented the board with the Texas Academic Performance Report, which consists of three sections: data from the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, exam, 2018-19 post secondary readiness data, as well as demographic data.
Rosser focused mainly on the post secondary readiness data, stating the district’s attendance rate was at 95.7% for the 2018-19 school year. The district’s four-year graduation rate grew to 97.7% from 95.7% in the 2017-18 school year, and 71.5% of students were deemed college, career or military ready.
