Fort Bend ISD garners B rating in newly released TEA scores
Put it in perfective
Most school districts statewide maintained or improved their A-F ratings between the two school years. Of the 1,208 school districts across Texas, data shows 24% received a higher rating, 64% kept the same rating and 12% received a lower rating.
Fort Bend ISD received a B from the Texas Education Agency’s accountability rating system for the 2024-25 academic year, showing growth after a C ranking the previous three years. The 2023-24 and 2024-25 ratings were released Aug. 15 following a legal battle that stalled state evaluations for nearly two years. Texas schools are rated on an A-F scale based on three categories: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps. FBISD received 80 out of 100 points, an increase from the stagnant 79 the district scored the previous three years. “We are making progress,” said Jaretha Jordan, deputy superintendent of teaching and learning. “It’s great to celebrate, but we must dig deeper. It’s every student, every day—and some of our groups are getting left behind.”
