On Friday, the Texas Education Agency released the 2025 A-F Accountability Ratings for public school systems and campuses across the state. Here are how local districts stacked up and compared to the 2023 rankings.
The 2024 rankings were released at the same time as the 2025 rankings due to a legal issue. To see full reports of both 2024 and 2025, visit the TEA website.
“Today marks a return to clarity and accountability,” said Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath. “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.”

The Texas Education Agency grades Texas public schools every year on what students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade. It also shows how well a school prepares their students for success after high school in college, the workforce, or the military, according to its website.
According to the TEA’s press release, compared with 2024, 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade. Most campuses maintained their previous rating, and only a small portion, 15%, saw a decline. 43% of high-poverty campuses in Texas were rated an A or B, continuing to prove that demographics do not equal destiny.
The A–F Accountability System is structured to balance rigor, fairness and transparency; establishing goals for preparing students for postsecondary success while acknowledging their effort and progress. A-F Ratings provide clear, accessible information on school and district performance, serving as an essential tool for parents, educators, policymakers and local communities to make informed decisions that support student success.
