Overlapping state house districts

McKinney Independent School District

Office Name	Current Officeholder	Party	% School District Covered	% Other District Covered
Texas House of Representatives District 61	Keresa Richardson	Republican Party	43%	35%
Texas House of Representatives District 67	Jeff Leach	Republican Party	43%	14%
Texas House of Representatives District 89	Candy Noble	Republican Party	13%	6%

The table was limited to the lower chamber because it provides the most granularity. State house districts tend to be more numerous and therefore smaller than state senate or U.S. House districts. This provides an impression of the partisan affiliations in the area.

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements. To protect student privacy, percentages are reported as ranges for groups of 300 students or fewer. If five or fewer students were included in a data set, the data will display as "PS."

• Mathematics
• Reading/language arts
