The district’s overall score was 91 out of 100, an A rating. The TEA released the ratings Aug. 14.

2026 A-F ratings: 24% of Texas public schools improved year-over-year

The Texas Education Agency released public school accountability ratings for the 2025-26 school year on Aug. 14.

"We use [A-F ratings] as a way to evaluate our own performance as adults, and then build action plans so that the way that we run our schools next year can be even better than last year," Education Commissioner Mike Morath said during an Aug. 14 news conference.

The overview: Across the state, 85% of campuses received a C rating or higher, which is considered “acceptable" academic performance.

Schools are rated based on three criteria: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps.

Zooming in: Austin ISD is at risk of being taken over by the TEA after two of the district's middle school campuses received their fifth consecutive failing grades this year. Under state law, the agency must either shutter those campuses or take control of the affected districts.

Any potential state-mandated closures or takeovers will not happen immediately, as districts with concerns about their ratings have through Sept. 11 to appeal individual scores to the TEA.
