Education
BY MICHAEL CROUCHLEY
Plano ISD received an overall B rating, 82 out of 100 points, from the Texas Education Agency’s 2024-25 accountability ratings. The ratings for both the 2024-25 and 2023-24 school years were released Aug. 15 following a delay due to a lawsuit. PISD also received a B for the 2023-24 school year. The rating is broken into three categories. PISD received a B in student achievement in 2024-25, which measures whether students met expectations on the STAAR test along with graduation rates, and how prepared students are for success after high school. The district got a 79 out of 100 in “school progress,” which shows how students perform over time and how the district’s performance compares to other districts PISD receives ‘B’ grade from TEA

The 2022-23 accountability ratings were also blocked for more than a year when more than 100 Texas school districts, including PISD, sued TEA Commissioner Mike Morath in August 2023, arguing that the agency’s revamped accountability system was “unlawful” and would unfairly harm school districts. Following the release of the 2022- 23 scores in April, a spokesperson for Plano ISD said changes to the rating system “fundamentally altered how performance is measured and reported.” Statewide, 31% of Texas public school campuses improved year-over-year. “We are reinforcing our commitment to transparency and to providing accurate, readily available information that helps every family understand how their school is doing,” Morath said in a press release.
