EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — Texas public schools and districts got their state accountability ratings Friday, which rates campuses on an A-F scale based on the schools and districts’ performances.
“A-F Ratings provide clear, accessible information on school and district performance, serving as an essential tool for parents, educators, policymakers and local communities to make informed decisions that support student success,” the TEA said in a statement.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) oversees the ratings. It said 85% of campuses that received an A-F rating statewide achieved acceptable academic performance (C or above).
The majority of district ratings fell within the B range (80-89), according to the TEA.
Within El Paso County, Valle Verde Early College High School received the highest rating: a 98 out of 100, according to the TEA’s rating map.
El Paso Leadership Academy High School on Joe Battle Boulevard received the lowest score: a 59 out of 100. Logan Elementary School in Northeast El Paso received the same score.
Ysleta Independent School District had the most A-rated campuses, according to TEA, totaling 25. Socorro Independent School District trailed behind with 18.
