The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings, restoring public access to performance data for school districts and campuses after a two-year delay caused by lawsuits. The agency also made the 2024 ratings available.
“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 across the state. According to the agency’s report, 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade compared with the previous year. Most campuses kept their existing rating, while only 15% saw a decline. The data also show that 43% of high-poverty campuses received an A or B rating.
The A–F Accountability System was established in 2017 by the Texas Legislature through House Bill 22. Its purpose is to give clear information about school performance in three main areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. The system aims to support continuous improvement so all students can receive a quality education that prepares them for life after graduation.
TEA states that the system balances rigor, fairness, and transparency by setting goals for postsecondary readiness while recognizing student effort and progress. The ratings provide accessible information on school and district performance for parents, educators, policymakers, and communities.
Ratings for both years are available on TXschools.gov. The website includes tools such as an interactive map feature that allows users to search for schools by address and compare them using selected data points.
