Overview

• The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has published the 2023 A–F accountability ratings, reflecting performance data from the 2022–23 school year, after a two-year delay caused by legal challenges.
• The 2023 ratings show an overall decline in academic growth, with 18% of campuses receiving an 'A,' 32% a 'B,' 31% a 'C,' 14% a 'D,' and 6% an 'F.'
• Despite the decline, 305 high-poverty campuses earned 'A' ratings, demonstrating that demographic factors do not preclude academic excellence under the system.
• The ratings incorporate updated methodology, including 'What If' scores for 2022 to allow fair year-to-year comparisons.
• The TEA remains unable to release 2023–24 performance data due to ongoing litigation, with the next ratings update scheduled for August 2025.
