Following a recent judicial mandate requiring a reassessment of evaluation standards, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is preparing to publish the 2024 performance ratings for public schools across the state. This update restores a vital source of information for parents, educators, and policymakers who depend on these assessments to gauge educational quality. The revised ratings will present a comprehensive overview, balancing academic results, student growth, and school environment factors. TEA representatives have confirmed that the modifications align with court directives, aiming to deliver a fairer and more precise appraisal of Texas schools’ effectiveness.

Critical components shaping the forthcoming ratings include:

  • Standardized assessment outcomes with an emphasis on recent academic gains
  • Long-term graduation and dropout statistics reflecting multi-year trends
  • Measures of student involvement, such as attendance rates and extracurricular participation
  • School safety and climate data as reported by individual districts
Evaluation Category Percentage Weight
Academic Achievement 50%
Student Growth 30%
