Texas schools’ final A-F report cards for 2024 and 2025 are now publicly available, providing parents and taxpayers with a look at how well their schools performed in those years.
The final accountability ratings, released by the Texas Education Agency last week, reflect any school districts’ successful appeals of their preliminary ratings.
A–F Accountability Ratings are designed to measure school performance in three areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. The overall ratings reflect the better of achievement or progress, which TEA states “gives all campuses the ability to earn high scores no matter where students begin.”
Preliminary ratings for 2024 and 2025 were released in August.
Releases of the 2024 and 2023 scores were delayed when school districts sued over how the ratings were calculated. The 2023 ratings were released in April.
Following the release of preliminary accountability ratings, school districts and open-enrollment charter schools are allowed by state law to appeal their scores.
According to the TEA, each appeal submitted is “carefully considered, alongside information provided by staff and the recommendations of an independent appeals panel made to the commissioner.”
The education commissioner makes the final decision on all appeals.
Arlington ISD is one district that successfully appealed its 2025 accountability scores, with six campuses increasing by a letter grade due to corrected STAAR results. Overall the district remains C-rated, although its accountability score improved from a 76 to a 77.
The TEA’s TXschools.gov and Accountability System search webpages have been updated to reflect the final 2024 and 2025 A-F ratings and scaled scores for all districts. Updated information is also available on the agency’s 2024 and 2025 Accountability Rating System pages.
In addition, Federal Report Cards for 2024-25 and the list of Public Education Grant campuses for 2026-27 are also now available. Both are based on the final 2025 A-F ratings.
The annual Federal Report Card includes state, district, and campus data. Districts are required to share the data with parents and post it on their websites for three years.
The Public Education Grant (PEG) program, created by the Texas Legislature in 1995, permits parents whose children attend a campus on the PEG List to request a transfer to another campus within their home district or in a different district.
Campuses that received a final overall scaled score of less than 60 are on the Final 2026–27 PEG List. Districts must notify families whose assigned campuses are on the list by February 1, 2026.
According to the TEA, more than 5.5 million students were enrolled in Texas public schools in the 2024-25 school year, attending one of 9,084 campuses in 1,208 school systems statewide.
No ads. No paywalls. No government grants. No corporate masters.
