Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD and Judson ISD received a “B” and “D” respectively for the 2022-23 school year in the Texas Education Agen- cy’s 2022-23 accountability ratings. The ratings were released April 24 after a delay due to lawsuits. TEA ocials said the methods of calculating 2022-23 ratings were “updated to more accurately reect performance.” For the 2021-22 school year, when Texas school districts last received ratings through the AF system, SCUCISD and Judson ISDs both received “B” ratings.

In September 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. What districts are saying Deanna Jackson, SCUCISD executive director of communications and community engagement, told Community Impact that the district’s “B” rating is “within range” of what they anticipated, particularly within the “recalibrated accountabil- ity framework” of the TEA.

deliberately to improve outcomes in those schools,” she said. JISD ocials did not respond as of press time. What’s next The TEA remains blocked from issuing ratings for the 2023-24 school year due to a separate law- suit, which is pending in the state appeals court. The TEA intends to release ratings for 2024-25 on Aug. 15, per state law. Hannah Norton contributed to this report.
