Leander ISD: improving education

Last week we promised to begin talking about dynamic proof in the past year or two that Leander ISD is, indeed, progressing well in our journey from a very good school district to a great one. These improvements fall into three major areas: improving education, enhancing communication and maximizing resources. We begin today by listing a few areas of significant academic improvement.

The most dramatic example of growing success in providing academic challenge for Leander ISD's students is the earning of Advanced Placement (AP) Scholar accolades by 119 students from Cedar Park, Leander and Vista Ridge high schools in 2006. This result marked a single-year increase of 67.6 percent over 2005, when 71 LISD students or graduates earned AP Scholar recognition.
