STATE ACCOUNTABILITY

District leaders use various sources of student performance data to gauge progress; inform good decision making; and target assistance for students, teachers, and schools. Below, is our most recent state accountability rating.
Full reports and explanations of calculations can be found on the accountability subpages TAPR & School Report Cards.



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. To learn more, visit TXschools.gov.

The Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), pulls together a wide range of information annually on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas. The reports, both current and historical, provide extensive information on staff, programs, and demographics for each school and district. Additional products that provide performance data are the School Report Cards and the Snapshot: School District Profiles.



FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires each State education agency to prepare and publish an annual report card with state-, district- and campus-level data. ESSA also requires each State education agency to report annually to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.

Every district that receives Title I, Part A funding is responsible for distributing the state-, district- and campus-level report cards to each of its campuses, the parents of all enrolled students, and the general public.

For more information about the Federal Report Card and districts' responsibilities related to it, please visit the Title I, Part A webpage.
