The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 A–F Accountability Ratings, ending a two-year delay caused by lawsuits. The agency states that this move restores transparency for families, communities, and school leaders in Texas.
“Today marks a return to clarity and accountability. With the release of the 2025 A–F Ratings, we are reinforcing our commitment to transparency and to providing accurate, readily available information that helps every family understand how their school is doing,” said Texas Education Commissioner, Mike Morath.
For 2025, TEA rated 1,208 districts and 9,084 campuses. Data shows that compared with last year’s ratings, 24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade. Most schools kept their previous rating while only about 15% experienced a decline. Additionally, 43% of high-poverty campuses received an A or B rating.
The A–F Accountability System was created in 2017 by the Texas Legislature through House Bill 22. Its purpose is to provide clear information on school performance in three main areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. The system aims to support ongoing improvement so all students have access to quality education preparing them for life after graduation.
The system is designed to be rigorous yet fair and transparent. It sets goals for postsecondary readiness while recognizing student progress. The ratings offer accessible data for parents, educators, policymakers, and communities to make informed decisions supporting student achievement.
Both the current year’s ratings and those from 2024 are now available online. The TEA’s platform includes features such as a searchable map allowing users to find schools by address and compare them using selected data points.
