Conroe ISD Maintains B Rating, Celebrates Breakthrough Campus Growth and Accelerates Improvement Efforts

CONROE, TX -- Conroe ISD earned an overall B rating and scored an 85 for the third consecutive year in the 2026 A-F Accountability Ratings released by the Texas Education Agency. The District earned a B in each of the three accountability domains: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps.

Of Conroe ISD’s 66 rated campuses, 22 earned an A, 26 earned a B, 11 earned a C, five earned a D, and two earned an F. Overall, 48 campuses, or nearly 73 percent, earned an A or B, and nearly 90 percent of rated campuses earned a C or higher.

Among this year’s most significant accomplishments, Lamar Elementary and Stockton Junior High earned their first overall A ratings in the state’s A-F accountability system. Lamar continued a steady climb from an 87 in 2024 to an 89 in 2025 before reaching a 90 this year. Stockton improved from a 79 in 2024 to an 85 in 2025 and reached a 90 in 2026.

Several campuses also demonstrated remarkable year-over-year progress. Moorhead Junior High made the District’s largest overall gain, increasing 12 points from a 69 to an 81 and moving from a D to a B. Its Academic Growth score also increased by 11 points.

Giesinger Elementary increased its overall score by 10 points, moving from a C to a B, while Runyan Elementary gained eight points and finished just one point away from an A. Hope Elementary and Conroe High School each increased their overall scores by seven points and moved to B ratings. Peet Junior High also improved from a C to a B.

Conroe High School recorded an 11-point increase in Academic Growth. Giesinger Elementary and Hope Elementary each improved nine points in Academic Growth, while Runyan Elementary, College Park High School and Grand Oaks High School each posted eight-point gains in this important measure of student progress.

Campbell Elementary and Eissler Elementary also earned B ratings in their first year.

“These accomplishments deserve to be celebrated,” Superintendent Dr. David Vinson said. “Earning an A for the first time or making double-digit gains does not happen by accident. These results represent thousands of hours of planning, teaching, intervention, encouragement, and hard work by our students, teachers, support staff, campus leaders, and families. Lamar, Stockton, Moorhead and every campus that moved forward should be extremely proud.”

The District also acknowledges that the results at seven campuses rated D or F did not meet the expectations of Conroe ISD, its families or the community. No campus is defined by a single rating, but the District will not minimize results that fall below its standards. Each of these campuses will receive focused support based on its individual academic needs and student data.

“These results reflect both the outstanding work taking place throughout Conroe ISD and the areas where we must improve,” Dr. Vinson said. “An overall B rating provides a strong foundation, but it is not our destination. We have campuses demonstrating that significant improvement is possible, and we will apply those lessons throughout the District with urgency, focus and support.”

Conroe ISD’s improvement efforts will include:

• Campus-specific improvement plans based on detailed reviews of student performance, academic growth and achievement gaps
• Increased instructional support and collaborative planning for teachers and campus leaders
• Frequent assessments and progress monitoring to identify student needs and adjust instruction quickly
• Targeted academic interventions for students needing additional time and support
• Expanded attendance initiatives and family outreach
• Regular progress reviews by District and campus leadership
• Sharing and implementing successful practices from high-performing and rapidly improving campuses

These efforts support Conroe ISD’s Drive 2 90 goal, which challenges every campus to earn an accountability score of 90 or higher by the 2027-2028 school year.

Public school systems across Texas are navigating a unique period marked by shifting enrollment and attendance patterns, increasing student needs and continued changes in public education. These realities provide important context, but they do not lower the District’s expectations for student success.

“Our educators and students have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to meet challenges and overcome them,” Dr. Vinson said. “We know improvement will require hard work, consistency and collaboration, but we also know what Conroe ISD is capable of accomplishing. We will continue moving forward together and remain committed to ensuring every student and every campus succeeds.”

Accountability ratings are one measure of school performance and do not capture every achievement, program or opportunity available to students. Conroe ISD takes these results seriously and will use them alongside additional academic, attendance and student growth data to guide its work throughout the coming school year.
