Accountability Ratings
Accountability Ratings
Texas accountability ratings help families and community members understand district and campus performance across student achievement, academic growth and progress among student groups.
How Texas Measures Performance
House Bill 22, passed by the 85th Texas Legislature, established three domains for measuring the academic performance of districts and campuses. These domains are combined to calculate an overall rating.
Student Achievement
Evaluates performance across all subjects for all students using STAAR assessments, College, Career and Military Readiness indicators and graduation rates.
School Progress
Measures academic growth and relative performance by looking at student growth and achievement compared with similar districts or campuses.
Closing the Gaps
Uses disaggregated data to review performance among student groups and align the state accountability system with ESSA.
