The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released its long-awaited 2022-2023 accountability ratings for school districts and individual schools, revealing many Texas schools are struggling. Fort Worth ISD is notably at risk of state takeover with its fifth consecutive unacceptable rating. The new A-F grading system, which returned after a five-year absence, shows a trend of declining performance across major districts, including Dallas, Arlington, and San Antonio, where many schools are receiving low grades. Amidst the release of the ratings, several districts point to factors impacting their scores and outline plans for improvement. Parents can access a searchable database to see how their local schools ranked, as many institutions face pressure to address their academic performance in light of these scores.
