Thank you to Baylee Bates and KCEN for highlighting the academic progress happening across Killeen ISD.

Our Spring 2026 EOC results show encouraging gains, including narrowing performance gaps with the state in Algebra I and English language arts and strong achievement in U.S. History, Biology and Algebra I.

Highlights include:

  • 95% of students met the Approaches standard in U.S. History

  • 92% met the Approaches standard in Biology

  • 78% met the Approaches standard in Algebra I

While we continue reviewing the data for opportunities to grow, these results reflect the dedication of our students, teachers, staff and families. Together, we're moving forward and helping more students succeed every day.
