We have much to celebrate at IDEA as we usher in a new school year, including recent news from the Texas Education Agency (TEA). Today, the TEA released its list of 2021-2022 School Accountability Ratings and 109 IDEA schools—or 95% of our schools in Texas—received an A or B letter grade!
Designed to offer greater transparency for parents and more accountability from school districts, each school campus in Texas received a letter rating that ranges from A through F. Scores are then calculated to rate individual school districts with a final letter grade.
This year, districts received a scaled score and letter grade in three performance areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. IDEA’s results in each performance area are as follows:
- Student Achievement: 89
- School Progress: 89
- Closing the Gaps: 88
- IDEA District Accountability Rating Score: 89 (B)
This year’s ratings highlights include:
- Seventy IDEA schools—or 60% of our schools in Texas—received an A letter grade
- Forty IDEA schools—or 34% of our schools in Texas—received a B letter grade
- 27% of schools met all applicable distinctions
- 100% of schools l in our Permian Basin, San Antonio, and Tarrant County regions received an A or B letter grade
- 94% of the Class of 2021 graduated college and career ready
- 76% of students met AP/IB criterion score in any subject
