Houston, TX, August 14, 2026 —

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has issued the A-F Accountability Ratings for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, a system that will impact school districts throughout the Houston area.

These ratings are designed to provide a clear assessment of school performance across the state. The A-F system, which was implemented statewide in 2023, evaluates districts and campuses on a variety of metrics. These metrics typically include student achievement, school quality, student progress, and closing performance gaps.

For the 2025-2026 school year, the TEA has now released the preliminary ratings, allowing districts to review the data. Further details regarding specific district and campus scores, including the breakdown of how each category contributed to the final grade, are expected to be made available by the agency. The implementation of this A-F rating system represents a significant shift in how educational institutions are evaluated, moving from a system that previously used distinctions and ratings like ‘Met Standard’ or ‘Improvement Required’ to a more granular, letter-grade approach.

School districts in the Houston region, like others across Texas, will use this information to identify areas of strength and pinpoint opportunities for improvement. The TEA’s accountability system aims to ensure transparency and drive continuous improvement within the state’s public education system. Specific outcomes for individual Houston-area districts under the new ratings were not detailed in the initial announcement.

The full scope of the accountability ratings, including detailed reports for each district and campus, will be accessible through the Texas Education Agency’s official channels. This release marks a key step in the annual accountability cycle for Texas schools.
