SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — A new school year is just underway, and it is too early to know how your child is doing in school.
However, you can find out how your child’s school is performing, at least over the last two years.
The Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) accountability ratings offer a look at how school districts across Texas are performing during the years in which data was collected. The report is supposed to be published annually, but a legal battle following the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in no results being given in 2020 or 2021. In 2022, TEA released only A-C grades.
Below is a ranking of some area school districts by grade for 2025, followed by grades for 2024.

Schools getting an A rating showed 88 percent of graduating seniors attending college.
The current ratings are determined by each schools performance in three categories: Student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps. The grading system changes somewhat depending on the age of the students attending. For example, elementary schools define student achievement based on STAAR test results, while high schools gauge graduation rates and college or career readiness. School progress factors in student performance on state tests over time, and closing the gap deals with special needs dynamics, and English as a second language scores.
