This week, the state-installed superintendent of HISD sat down withto call attention to the district’s successes during his first year at the helm.
The well-orchestrated press event was accompanied by a press release that highlighted improvements at previously low-rated schools within HISD.“Results show the district drastically reducing the number of “D” and “F” rated schools by nearly two-thirds, from 120 schools in 2023 to 41 in 2024. This improvement was particularly significant at NES schools, where the number of “D” and “F” schools dropped nearly 80 percent – from 63 schools to 14.
Across the district, the number of “A” and “B” rated schools increased by 82%, from 93 in 2023 to 170 in 2024, while NES campuses, where only 11 schools earned “A” or “B” ratings in 2023 educators and students achieved a remarkable 480% increase, with 53 NES campuses rated “A” or “B” in 2024.
“We were able to get the highest increases this district has ever seen. The kids rose to the level of expectations, the teachers did too. And in my experience, and I suspect in most peoples’ experience, that doesn’t happen when it’s chaotic or devastating morale,” Miles answered. Eisenbaum and Miles discussed a variety of topics from his decision to hire uncertified teachers, to bussing, to funding issues. Look for upcoming stories based on the conversation.
