GRADING AND REPORT CARDS

  • In order for HISD students to be promoted to the next grade level, they must show that they have learned what the State of Texas requires of all public school children. HISD "Promotion Standards" generally include classroom grades and a local or state test. Details about the standards are available online through your child's school.
