Northwest ISD and Keller ISD schools secured an overall ‘B’ rating from the Texas Education Agency’s A-F rating system for the 2023-24 school year and a B rating for the 2024-25 school year, based on data released Aug. 15. KISD received 83 out of 100 points for the 2023-24 school year and 85 out of 100 points for the 2024-25 school year, according to the TEA’s website. For both the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years, Northwest ISD secured an overall 81 out of 100 points. The ratings are designed to measure student learning and growth in each grade at each school and whether students are ready to move on to the next grade. Districts earn ‘B’ rating from TEA

The TEA ratings are based on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness testing. Both districts told Community Impact in statements that STAAR testing shouldn’t be the only basis for a district’s progress. “While we believe measurement and accountability are critical to growth and achieving positive outcomes, Keller ISD evaluates progress by more than a single test administered on a single day,” spokesperson Bryce Nieman said via a district statement. “Northwest ISD does not believe a single-day, high-stakes test is the best measure of student achievement and progress. Our district continues to advocate for lawmakers to abolish the STAAR test and focus on personalized learning and continuous improvement of every child,” spokesperson Anthony Tosie said on the district’s behalf.
