The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings, marking the end of a two-year delay caused by lawsuits. The ratings provide transparency for families, communities, and school leaders regarding 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 last year’s data, 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade. Most campuses kept their previous rating while only 15% experienced a decline. Additionally, among high-poverty campuses in Texas, 43% received an A or B rating.
The A–F Accountability System was established in 2017 by House Bill (HB) 22 during the 85th Texas Legislature to give clear information on school performance in three areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. The system aims to support continuous improvement so all students have access to quality education that prepares them for life after graduation.
The structure of the accountability system is intended to balance rigor with fairness and transparency by setting goals for postsecondary preparation while recognizing student effort and progress. The ratings are designed as a tool for parents, educators, policymakers, and local communities to make informed decisions supporting student success.
