The school shows a clear upward trend in Reading proficiency as students progress from 3rd to 6th grade, though a slight year-over-year decline in 6th-grade Reading (from 90% to 81.25%) warrants monitoring. Overall, Sam Houston State University Charter School is a model of high-quality, efficient public education that consistently delivers strong academic outcomes for its students.
