Information from the Texas Education Agency about A-F Ratings

Following two years without ratings, the A-F State Accountability ratings resumed in August of 2022. To search for campus or district ratings state-wide, please visit the TEA 2022 Accountability Reports site. Available summaries for GCISD are provided below by year.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of balancing health and safety concerns with the impact on student learning and growth. Recognizing the unique challenges schools faced, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) did not issue A–F accountability ratings for the 2020–2021 school year and sought waivers of aspects of federal accountability requirements. However, because it remained critical that parents, educators, and policymakers understand the impact of the pandemic on student learning, state assessments continued through the administrations of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), STAAR Alternate 2, the Texas English Language Assessment System (TELPAS), and TELPAS Alternate. TEA processed and reported all available data from the 2020–2021 school year but did not calculate accountability scores or assign A–F ratings. 

In March 2020, the USDE granted TEA a waiver from annual assessment and accountability requirements for school year 2019–2020 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) due to the widespread impact of COVID-19. As a result, schools and districts did not receive ratings for the 2019-2020 school year.
