Texas Schools Get State Report Card with Accountability Ratings
The ratings show 85% of campuses earned a C or higher, while several San Antonio-area districts and schools remained among the state’s lowest performers.
- On Friday, the Texas Education Agency published its 2026 A-F Accountability Ratings, evaluating 1,202 districts and 9,105 campuses across Texas, with 85% of campuses receiving a C or higher.
- These annual ratings measure school performance across three areas: student achievement, school progress, and 'closing the gaps.' Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath stated the grades illustrate public school progress and illuminate areas needing improvement.
- Approximately 24% of campuses and districts improved their ratings compared with 2025, with 585 schools rising to an A; statewide, 24% earned an A, 34% a B, 23% a C, 10% a D, and 4% an F.
- Schools receiving five consecutive failing grades face potential closure or board replacement under state law. Austin ISD Superintendent Matias Segura acknowledged significant challenges as the district faces a possible state takeover after middle schools received their fifth consecutive F ratings.
- Years of legal challenges from districts claiming methodology changes unfairly lowered grades have impacted the accountability system. Lawsuits blocked the 2024 ratings, delaying their release until they were published alongside 2025 results last August.
