McKinney ISD received an overall B rating from the Texas Education Agency for both the 2023- 24 and 2024-25 school years. The agency’s accountability ratings for the 2023-24 school year were released Aug. 15 following a delay due to a lawsuit filed by 33 districts, which argued the agency’s revamped guidelines did not follow state law. In August 2024, a Travis County district court blocked the release of the ratings; however, the Texas Courts of Appeals ruled in July that the 2023-24 ratings can be released. The Aug. 15 release of the 2024-25 ratings is on time and in accordance with state law. The district scored 88 out of 100 possible points on the overall rating scale. McKinney ISD has received a B rating each year since the

2021-22 school year. The district also received a B rating in the 2018-19 school year. Districts were not rated in 2019-20 and 2020-2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

88 This measures student performance across all subjects on the STAAR test, graduation rates and student readiness for post-high school success.
