Texas elementary and middle school students mostly stagnated in reading this school year while their performance on math and social studies exams improved, according to STAAR results released Tuesday.

The Texas Education Agency published results from the annual State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, for grades 3-8, which aim to measure whether students learn material in core subjects at levels appropriate for their grade.

High school results released last week showed gains in all areas.
