The ratings measure how well students are learning and whether schools are preparing them for success after graduation. The state evaluates districts on student test scores, graduation rates, college and career readiness, and how well they support special education students and English learners, according to the Texas Education Agency.
State law requires school boards to hold public hearings within 90 days to discuss their performance. Districts must also send School Report Cards home to parents within six weeks showing how individual campuses performed.
