The Texas Education Agency released public school accountability ratings for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years on Aug. 15, wrapping up a legal battle that began nearly two years prior. Across the state, most school districts and campuses maintained or improved their A-F ratings between the 2023-24 to 2024- 25 school years. Of Texas’ 1,208 school districts, 24% received a higher rating, while 64% kept the same rating and 12% received a lower rating, TEA data shows. Texas schools are rated on an A-F scale based on three criteria: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps. Elementary and middle school ratings are largely based on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, which students begin taking in third grade, while high school ratings are based on the STAAR and how well students are prepared for success after graduation. “A,” “B” and “C” ratings are considered passing, while “D” and “F” are failing ratings. Texans can find the updated accountability ratings for K-12 districts and individual campuses at www.txschools.gov.

Austin ISD
District score
AISD received an overall “C” rating of 79 out of 100 in 2025, up two points from the previous year. AISD saw a 10% increase in the number of campuses receiving passing A, B, or C ratings from the state in the 2023-24 to 2024-25 school years, according to TEA data. Meanwhile, Burnet, Dobie and Webb middle schools received their fourth consecutive “F” ratings in 2025, putting the district at risk of facing a state takeover or closing those campuses in 2026. TEA data shows more than 20 new AISD campuses have received multiple failed A-F ratings and may require state intervention going forward. Of 123 campuses in the 2024-25 school year, 23 received an “F,” 18 received a “D” and 8 were unrated. The remaining 74 received between A-C.
