What grade does the state give the school?
The Texas Education Agency scores districts and
campuses with letter grades to give Texas families
an idea of how well they are teaching students.
School performance ratings can help parents decide
which schools to enroll their kids in and help businesses
decide which communities to invest in.
Why this matters
An “A” means the state views the school as showing
exemplary performance; “B” means recognized performance;
“C” is acceptable performance; a “D” is performance that
needs improvement; and an “F” is unacceptable performance.
Districts with schools that repeatedly fail could be at
risk for a state takeover or other intervention. Critics
of the system say districts in low-income communities
tend to fare worse.
