• Accountability Ratings
    Given the impact of COVID-19, all districts and schools received a label of Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster for their 2020 and 2021 accountability ratings. 
     

    For a closer look at the new ratings, TEA encourages parents, educators and community members to visit TXschools.gov to view district and school report cards.

     
     

    The A-F system has remained consistent with last year’s system. As in 2018, districts, charters, and schools are given an overall rating based on performance in three areas:

    • Student Achievement shows how much students know and are able to do at the end of the school year.
    • School Progress shows how students perform over time and how that growth compares to similar schools.
    • Closing the Gaps shows how well different groups of students within a school are performing.

    A-F accountability uses a variety of indicators such as graduation rates, college, career and military readiness, SAT/ACT scores, and college prep course completion. The majority of a district’s rating is based on indicators other than the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test.
