State Accountability 2023
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has announced a temporary delay in the release of 2023 A-F accountability ratings for all districts and campuses across the State of Texas. The ratings were originally scheduled for release on September 28 and will now be delayed by approximately one month, according to the TEA’s press release.
Since August 2018, we have had a state accountability system commonly known as A-F Ratings, which has allowed for apples-to-apples comparisons over the years. However, the State Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) exams used for these ratings have undergone various updates, including changes in the length of time allowed, a transition to online administration, and the availability of accommodations.
Due to these changes, the TEA has stated that a direct comparison between the 2022 and 2023 ratings is not possible. As a result, a campus could show improved STAAR performance over the previous year and still receive a lower rating in 2023 compared to its 2022 rating.
The overall structure of the rating system will remain unchanged, featuring three rated domains: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. Additionally, districts and campuses will continue to receive an overall rating. However, a notable change for 2023 involves using student enrollment data for grades three through 12 for each campus. This data will determine the proportion of the district's score attributed to each school. This method of proportionality will be applied to each domain as well as the overall score. The TEA's rationale for this change is to enhance alignment between the district's overall score and the individual campus ratings.
When the TEA releases 2023 A-F Accountability Ratings in the fall, "What If" ratings will also be released which apply the new 2023 refreshed methodology to our 2022 data. The "What If" ratings allow for easier comparisons to support continuous improvement plans moving forward.
A-F Refresh Overview is available from the TEA in English and Spanish.
State Accountability 2022
Texas provides annual academic accountability ratings to its public school districts, charters and schools. The ratings are based on performance on state standardized tests; graduation rates; and college, career, and military readiness outcomes. The ratings examine student achievement, school progress, and whether districts and campuses are closing achievement gaps among various student groups.
The Texas Education Agency released this year's ratings on August 15th, 2022 on the Academic Accountability 2022 Performance Reporting website. An A-F Accountability Listing for the district and GCISD campuses is also available here.
Senate Bill (SB) 1365 requires a Not Rated label for 2022 unless the district or campus earns an A, B, or C. Campuses with a Not Rated label for 2022 are not eligible to receive distinction designations.
State Accountability 2021
While all districts and campuses will receive a Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster label for 2021,TEA has advised that districts should exercise caution when using 2021 assessment outcomes for evaluating or planning purposes. Assessment data from 2021 should be used in conjunction with other, more stable data points and local data that documents the impact of COVID-19 on instruction.
Performance Reporting will not publish a 2021 A–F Estimator. The impact of COVID-19 will vary greatly among districts and campuses, and the scaling set in 2018 may not appropriately account for variations in 2021 outcomes.
State Accountability 2020
Given the impact of COVID-19, all districts and schools received a label of Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster for their 2020 Accountability Ratings. Labels and data shown on TXschools.gov reflect prior accountability outcomes.
Given the impact of COVID-19, Governor Greg Abbott is using his statutory authority as the Governor of Texas under Texas Government Code, §418.016 to suspend annual academic assessment requirements for the remainder of the 2019–2020 school year. TEA will work with the United States Department of Education to request waivers from federal testing and accountability requirements for the 2019–2020 school year.

The 2018 State Accountability System assigned ratings to every campus and district in the Texas public education system based on student achievement in three areas as outlined in the diagram below:
Additionally, HB 22 requires the Commissioner of Education to report to the State Legislature by January 1st, 2019, the overall and domain performance rating each campus would have received for the 2017-18 school year if the A-F rating system for campuses had been in place.
Previously, up through 2016-2017, the state accountability system assigned ratings to every campus and district in the Texas public education system based on student achievement in four areas as outlined by the Performance Index Framework:
Index One: Student Achievement
Index Two: Student Progress
Index Three: Closing Performance Gaps
Index Four: Postsecondary Readiness
Campus and District Rating Labels
Campuses and districts were either labeled as Met Standard or as Improvement Required using the results from the Performance Index Framework. Grapevine Colleyville ISD Met Standard for the 2016-2017 School Year. Additionally, all of the Grapevine Colleyville ISD campuses each received the rating of Met Standard.
