The Texas Education Agency released spring 2026 STAAR results Tuesday for students in third through eighth grade, showing gains in math and social studies while reading results remained largely steady statewide.

In a news release, Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath pointed to math gains and middle school reading improvements as highlights of the 2026 results.

"We are encouraged by continued gains in mathematics, especially with the growing number of students participating and succeeding in advanced mathematics courses," Morath said in the release.
