Two years’ worth of school accountability grades were released Friday.
Ratings from 2025 are out along with 2024 scores, which had been held up in court after a coalition of districts sued to block their release.
“Today marks a return to clarity and accountability,” Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said in a statement.
The scores, based largely on STAAR tests, reflect student performance, graduation rates, college and career readiness and how schools are closing performance gaps.
A Texas Education Agency analysis of scores found almost a quarter of districts improved their letter grade between 2024 and 2025. Many North Texas districts were rated A, and several increased a letter grade from 2024.
The Commit Partnership, an education policy nonprofit, said the release gives a look at several consecutive years’ worth of scores since the Texas Legislature created the rating system in 2017. Scoring was halted during the pandemic and the method was updated in 2023.
“Our educators deserve tremendous recognition for increasing the number of top-rated campuses and districts across Texas,” said Commit Partnership CEO Todd Williams.
