Accountability ratings

Texas assigns ratings to districts and campuses that designate their performance in relation to the state's accountability system.

A-F ratings have not been released since the 2021-2022 school year. Many school districts have sued the Texas Education Agency after the agency made changes to the way ratings would be calculated. The ratings won’t be released until the case is resolved.
