News from Lewisville & Coppell ISDs
HIGHLIGHTS TEXAS Accountability ratings for the 2022-23 school year will be released Sept. 28, following months of revisions to the accountability system. At the beginning of each school year, the Texas Education Agency rates public schools and districts based on student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps for at-risk students. Individual campuses and districts receive A-F scores, which are meant to hold schools accountable and inform Texans about student performance. Ratings are based on a variety of factors, including results from the annual State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness; academic growth; high school graduation rates; and how prepared students are for college, a career or the military.
