Miles says the numbers show HISD students across the board are closing the achievement gap with the rest of the state.

Miles says the one-year improvement justifies HISD’s “new education system,” which provides additional resources and support to underperforming schools to help them significantly improve academic achievement.

Statewide results will be released Friday.
