Celina ISD received an overall 'B' rating from the Texas Education Agency for its student performance in the 2025-26 school year.

By the numbers: While CISD’s overall rating remained steady, its specific accountability score dipped slightly from 87 points in 2024-25 to 85 points in 2025-26, based on TEA data.

Zooming in: For 2025-26, 69% of CISD students met or exceeded the standards for their grade level in reading, and 53% met or exceeded grade level standards in math, but performance varied by race and ethnicity, based on TEA data.

Put in context: CISD is among 47% of districts statewide that received a 'B' rating for the 2025-26 school year, per TEA data.

Prosper ISD received an overall ‘A’ rating from the Texas Education Agency for its student performance in the 2025-26 school year.

Zooming in: All of PISD’s campuses received an ‘A’ or ‘B’ rating except for Judy Rucker Elementary School, which received a ‘C’ rating.

Put in perspective: PISD is among 17% of districts statewide that received an ‘A’ rating for the 2025-26 school year, per TEA data.

Quote of note: “This year’s A-F ratings illustrate the progress Texas public schools are making and acknowledge the hard work of our educators while illuminating areas of needed improvement to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education,” Education Commissioner Mike Morath said in a statement.

Ahead of the 2026-27 school year, public school leaders in Community Impact’s coverage areas shuttered at least nine individual schools to respond to repeated state accountability issues and stave off state intervention. A new Texas Education Agency rule may make it harder for districts to do so in the future.

The details: Beginning Aug. 16, if a district closes a D- or F-rated campus and transfers the largest share of students from the closed campus to a school with a C, D or F rating, the closed campus’ rating will be assigned to the new campus. 

Districts will only avoid transferring a shuttered school’s rating history if they relocate a plurality of students to an A- or B-rated campus.

Stay tuned: The TEA is scheduled to release A-F ratings for the 2025-26 school year on Aug. 14. If a school receives five failing ratings in a row, the TEA is required under state law to close that campus or replace the district’s board of trustees with a state-appointed board of managers.
