The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings, ending a two-year delay caused by lawsuits. The ratings are intended to provide transparency for families, communities, and school leaders across the state.
“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 last year’s data, 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade. Most campuses maintained their previous rating while only 15% experienced 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 system aims to encourage continuous improvement so all students have access to quality education that prepares them for life after graduation.
According to TEA officials, the system is designed to balance rigor with fairness and transparency. It sets goals for preparing students for postsecondary success while recognizing both effort and progress. The ratings offer clear information on school and district performance for parents, educators, policymakers, and local communities.
The public can view detailed ratings data on TXschools.gov. The website includes features such as a searchable map that allows users to compare schools using selected data points. To access the 2024 ratings for districts and campuses, users can select “Additional Details” on any campus or district profile page.
Districts or campuses receiving a "Not Rated" designation were not included in this year’s totals.
