This Is Our Year of “A

When the Texas Education Agency (TEA) reviews the STAAR results, they publish Accountability Reports. This year, the preliminary results indicate that The Lawson Academy scored 89.5 on the STAAR.

That rounds up to 90 and an “A” score. WOW!

Welcome To The Lawson Academy, where young scholars in communities with promise grow in citizenship, academics, and personal development.

The Lawson Academy middle school serves students from many different school districts, including Houston ISD, Fort Bend ISD and others. Our student body comprises a diverse group of young people who have one thing in common: the desire to obtain an education which will prepare them for success in high school. Our administration, faculty, staff, and governing board work together to provide a structured school environment that encourages student success and focuses on STEM skills.

Where Dreams Come True

The Lawson Academy is an open-enrollment public institution (no tuition) with established academic requirements and requisite parental commitment.

We welcome any students who willingly accept the challenge to become college ready and to demonstrate personal integrity and responsibility.

We Are An “A” School!

All because of wonderful teaching, strong and capable leadership, and the spectacular students in every single classroom. YOU DID IT!

Everyone knows that STAAR tests are used to measure how close to the grade level you are. If you fail STAAR, it is because you Did Not Meet Grade level. Last year, only 15% of our student’s STAAR tests were at Did Not Meet. That means 85% of the STAAR test results were at either Approaches, Meets or Masters. That is a terrific number!!!!

If you pass the STAAR, it is because you score at MEETS or MASTERS Grade Level. Last year, 26% of student STAAR tests were at MEETS grade level and 21% of student STAAR tests were at MASTERS grade level. That is 47% of the school. It is about 15% MORE than the previous year of STAAR reports. It is incredible!!!

For the school, the way we know how well WE did is to look at our letter grade. Just like each student, the school can get a “D” or a “C” grade. And student results make up the school’s grade. Our school score comes from YOUR scores — a lot of MEETS and MASTERS, but it also comes from student GROWTH.

Not every student grew, of course. Some students didn’t attend enough instructional days, or were not actively engaged in learning at school or at home. BUT, we had some students that went from DID NOT MEET in 2022 to MASTERS in 2023. That is the kind of growth that many of the best schools in Texas can’t show. And students and staff at The Lawson Academy did it!

So, the letter grade of “A” is the best possible news for The Lawson Academy.
