Houston ISD received a “C” for the 2022-23 school year in the Texas Education Agency’s accountability ratings for school districts statewide. The ratings were released April 24 after a delay due to lawsuits, TEA officials said. The announcement follows an April 3 ruling by Texas’ 15th Court of Appeals, which overturned an injunction that had blocked the 2023 ratings for over a year. In August 2023, over 100 school districts sued TEA Commissioner Mike Morath, arguing the agency’s revamped accountability system was “unlawful” and would unfairly harm school districts.

The breakdown
Houston ISD accountability ratings Since the A-F system launched in 2017-18, HISD has only received three official ratings due to three years of State of Disaster declarations. 2017-18: Not rated due to Hurricane Harvey 2018-19: B (88) 2019-20: Not rated due to COVID-19 pandemic 2020-21: Not rated due to COVID-19 pandemic
HISD officials said the data reflects the performance of the district before the state intervention. “The ratings confirm what many already knew: HISD was a deeply inequi- table system in need of urgent change.”
