Accountability Ratings
The Texas Education Agency evaluates public schools and districts under state accountability requirements.
TEA accredits public schools in Texas at the district level for grades K-12. The Accreditation Status, Standards, and Sanctions section of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) states how accreditation statuses will be determined and assigned to school districts. Those statuses are defined as Accredited,Accredited-Warned, Accredited-Probation, and Not Accredited-Revoked.

The school report card (SRC) combines accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), and financial information to give a broad view of campus performance. Available for each campus in Texas, the SRC is intended specifically to inform parents and guardians about a school’s individual characteristics and its academic performance.
The 2021–22 school report cards are available.
The school report card definitions, updated each year, explain several of the terms used in the SRC. The school report card definitions are also available in Spanish.
The U.S. Department of Education also requires an annual report card with specific district- and campus-level data. The 2022-23 federal report cards were released in December 2023.
