RRISD receives ‘B’ in newly released 2022 23 TEA accountability ratings

Round Rock ISD received a “B” for the 2022-23 school year in the Texas Education Agency’s school accountability ratings. The ratings are based on factors such as academic performance and how prepared students are for college and careers after high school. The overview Ratings for the 2022-23 school year were delayed by lawsuits, and released April 24 following

an April 3 ruling in which Texas’ 15th Court of Appeals overturned a 2023 injunction that prevented the release for over a year. According to the district, about 70% of schools in the RRISD that were rated received an A or B, and no RRISD schools received an F. TEA data shows 23 RRISD schools earned an “A”; 13 earned a “B”; 11 earned a “C”; and Œve earned a “D.”
