See how San Antonio-area schools stack up based on TEA rankings since 2014.
over the years, the Express-News has created a database that standardizes the ratings data from TEA since 2014 into simpler “pass” and “fail” categories.
The A-F system, paused during the 2020 and 2021 school years amid the pandemic, was reinstated for the 2022 school year after Senate Bill 1365 was signed into law in September 2021. The TEA uses the system to evaluate school performance based on a range of factors, including student achievement and improvement.
The bar for state intervention is relatively low: SB 1365 gives the education commissioner the power to appoint an outside board of managers for a school district if a single school has five consecutive years of unacceptable performance. But the way the state calculates whether a school meets that five-year threshold – including rules about what scores do and do not count – can obscure how campuses are actually performing from year to year, critics say.
For example, under SB 1365, in years where a campus is not given a rating by TEA – such as during the pandemic – that year does not constitute a break in a streak of unacceptable ratings. The law also required that schools that would have received a D or F rating in 2022 be labeled “Not Rated,” which allowed under-performing schools an additional pause in the chain of unacceptable performance years as they recover from COVID losses.
