AUSTIN, Texas - Texas high school students made gains in every subject this year, according to state test results released Wednesday.

The STAAR end-of-course assessment tests measure students in algebra I, English, biology and U.S. history to test high school students' readiness for college, a career or military service.

What they're saying: "These results reflect the hard work of Texas students, educators and families and demonstrate that focused instruction and high expectations continue to produce positive outcomes for students across our state," Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said.
