Springtown ISD

Springtown ISD is proud to announce significant academic gains in the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings, earning an overall score of 76 (C), a 5-point increase from last year’s 71 (C). This progress reflects the district’s strong commitment to student achievement and its determination to keep building on this momentum.

Two areas stood out for their notable improvement: Academic Growth and Closing the Gaps.

• Academic Growth tracks whether students are improving their scores year over year, no matter where they started. Springtown ISD saw a 7-point gain, meaning more students are learning and showing measurable improvement.

• Closing the Gaps measures how well a district is helping students who may be behind catch up. Springtown ISD improved by 13 points in this area, showing real progress for student groups who have historically scored lower, including English learners, students with disabilities, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Several Springtown ISD campuses showcased remarkable improvement in their overall scores, reflecting the impact of high-quality instruction, embedded coaching for teachers and principals, strong learning materials, and focused College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) initiatives:

• Springtown Middle School surged +19 points (56 to 75)

• Porcupine Academy climbed +6 points (84 to 90)

• Springtown High School rose +5 points (78 to 83)

• Springtown Intermediate improved +2 points (69 to 71)

“We’re incredibly proud of the growth we’ve seen this year, and that’s a direct result of the tireless work of our staff - including teachers, campus leaders, and the curriculum and instruction team,” said Tiffany Cano, Assistant Superintendent of Academics. “These gains show what’s possible when we all work together. We’re proud, and now we’re more determined than ever to keep getting better for every student, every day.” 

While Springtown ISD is proud of the progress made, the district acknowledges that there is still room for growth. Superintendent Shane Strickland emphasized, “We’re not just celebrating progress,  we’re building on it. We are proud of the strides we’ve made, but we know that a “C” or “Acceptable” performance is not the finish line. We have higher expectations for ourselves because our students deserve the very best. Our focus now is on building on this momentum, making sure every student on every campus has the opportunity to excel.”
