Promotion Standards for First Grade
The Houston Independent School District and Herrera Elementary School uphold the following standards for promoting First Grade students to the next grade level.
A. All students in grade 1 must meet the state course-average requirement of a 70 overall grade-point average of all courses and the HISD requirement of a 70 or better grade-point average in reading, language arts, mathematics, and either science or social studies.
B. Students in grade 1 must earn a passing score on HISD's High-Frequency Word Evaluation.
C. All students in grade 1 must score no lower than one grade level below grade-level placement in reading on the Stanford/Aprenda tests. (Example: A first-grade child taking the test in January would need to score at least K.4 because the child's actual grade-level placement is first grade, four months, or 1.4.)
Grade 1 standard = K.4
