TEA Accountability Ratings

The TEA accountability ratings are based on a system that uses various indicators to provide detail on the performance of a school district and individual campuses. The performance index framework includes four areas: Student Achievement, Student Progress, Closing Performance Gaps, and Postsecondary Readiness.
