Lancaster ISD reports modest changes on STAR/ELC assessments; staff point to gains in biology and steady performance elsewhere
Petanya Bell presented the district’s STAR/ELC update and said comparisons between 2025 and 2026 show overall stability with some gains. She reported biology scores rose from 68% to 70% and described English I and English II percentages as roughly comparable year‑to‑year; U.S. history remained at a high level compared with prior STAR administrations.

Bell emphasized the role of instructional implementation in the results and described the data as showing “moderate progress” in areas such as math and science. She closed by inviting questions; no substantive policy action was recorded on the assessment item during the work session.
