Harmony Public Schools South Texas District is thrilled to announce that 12 students from its schools have achieved perfect scores on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exam. This exceptional accomplishment highlights the district's unwavering commitment to academic excellence, even as many students across Texas face challenges in meeting state standards.

The students who achieved perfect scores represent four schools across the district:

• Harmony Science Academy-Laredo: Natalie O., Ricardo G., Erika G.
• Harmony School of Excellence-Laredo: Uriel H., Barbara R., Fatima R.
• Harmony School of Innovation-Brownsville: Reyyan T., Ayr G., Jovanni V.
• Harmony School of Science-San Antonio: Anjali G., Olivia B., Nathaniel B.

These students' accomplishments are particularly significant given the broader context of statewide educational challenges. On June 14, 2024, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) reported a decline in math performance across the state, attributing it to the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these difficulties, the students from Harmony Public Schools South Texas District have demonstrated resilience and dedication, achieving scores that set them apart from their peers.

The perfect scores reflect not only the students' hard work but also the support and guidance they receive from their teachers and the broader Harmony community. These educators are dedicated to providing personalized instruction and fostering an environment where students can thrive academically.
