Texas Public School Statutes
Most schools in Houston are organized in three levels: pre-K through fifth grade; sixth grade through eight grade; and ninth grade through 12 grade. Instruction at all levels is largely regulated by state requirements. State law restricts class sizes for grades four and under to a maximum of 22 students per teacher. Local areas add their own touches.
Students are promoted from
grade to grade according to the knowledge they master and their retention
of it. In Houston, generally, numerical grades are used to evaluate a student's
performance. The grading system, according to state mandate, is:
| A+ at 98 | A at 95 | A- at 91 |
| B+ at 88 | B at 85 | B- at 81 |
| C+ at 79 | C at 77 | C- at 75 |
| D+ at 74 | D at 72 | D- at 70 |
Several standardized aptitude and achievement tests are administered to students at different ages, including the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS), Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP), Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), and the Survey Tests of Essential Elements/Learner Standards (STEELS)
