LUBBOCK, TX — The Texas Education Agency has released its long-delayed 2023 A–F accountability ratings that give the public its first look at statewide school performance in over two years.
The TEA ratings, which reflect performance from the 2022–2023 school year, had not been released until now due to ongoing litigation involving the state’s accountability system, according to a press release by the TEA. Ratings for the 2023–2024 school year have not been issued, and the next release is scheduled for August 2025.
These ratings evaluate public schools and districts on student achievement, school progress, and how well they are closing learning gaps. To help families compare performance under the old and new systems, TEA also released “What If” scores for 2022 using the updated standards.

“For far too long, families, educators and communities have been denied access to information about the performance of their schools, thanks to frivolous lawsuits paid for by tax dollars filed by those who disagreed with the statutory goal of raising career readiness expectations to help students,” said Texas Education Commissioner, Mike Morath.
“Every Texas family deserves a clear view of school performance, and now those families finally have access to data they should have received two years ago. Transparency drives progress, and when that transparency is blocked, students pay the price.”
Ratings for the current school year, 2023–2024, are still being held due to ongoing legal proceedings, but TEA expects to resume normal reporting next year.
