Established in 2017, the rating system considers three categories: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps.
“Student achievement” relies on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, scores. Graduation rates and college, career and military readiness are factored in for high schools.
“School progress” weighs academic improvement from year to year. “Closing the gaps” evaluates how well schools serve vulnerable populations, like special education and economically disadvantaged students.

If a campus receives a failing grade for five consecutive years, the state must close the campus or appoint a board of managers to govern the district. Eight districts, including Fort Worth ISD, are currently under state control.

Of the 9,105 campuses graded statewide, 560 received “Not Rated.” That happens for a variety of reasons. Data could be too insufficient to assign a rating, or the school serves a particular purpose, like being a residential facility or disciplinary alternative education program.
Families can find all campus and district scores at TxSchools.gov.
