Plano ISD receives 'B' accountability score for 2025-26 school year

Plano ISD received an overall B rating, 85 out of 100 points, from the Texas Education Agency’s accountability ratings for the 2025-26 school year.

The district’s score improved from the previous school year, when it also received a B but had a score of 82 out of 100 points. An 85 is the highest score PISD has received since the rankings were revamped for the 2022-23 school year.

What you need to know: The score measures “how much students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade. It also shows how well a school or district prepares their students for success after high school in college, the workforce, or the military,” according to TEA’s website.

Diving deeper: Of 67 PISD campuses that received an overall grade from the TEA, 22 received an A, 27 received a B and 13 received a C. Five campuses received a D, all of which were elementary.
