The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings for school districts and campuses, ending a two-year delay caused by lawsuits. The ratings system is designed to give families, communities, and school leaders clear information about school performance.
“Today marks a return to clarity and accountability. With the release of the 2025 A–F Ratings, we are reinforcing our commitment to transparency and to providing accurate, readily available information that helps every family understand how their school is doing,” said Texas Education Commissioner, Mike Morath.
In 2025, TEA rated 1,208 districts and 9,084 campuses. Compared with the previous year’s results, 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade. Most schools kept their prior rating while only 15% saw a decline. Among high-poverty campuses in Texas, 43% received an A or B rating.
The A–F Accountability System was created in 2017 by the Texas Legislature through House Bill 22. It measures performance in three areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. The goal is to encourage ongoing improvement so all students have access to quality education that prepares them for life after graduation.
The system aims to balance rigor with fairness and transparency. According to TEA, it provides clear data on performance for parents, educators, policymakers, and local communities so they can make informed decisions about supporting student success.
Families can view both the current and previous year’s ratings at TXschools.gov. The website offers features such as a searchable map tool for comparing schools by address or selected data points. To see detailed information on a campus or district’s profile from last year’s ratings (2024), users can select “Additional Details” on the site.
