Houston ISD Maintains B Rating for 2025-26 School Year

Houston Independent School District retained its B accountability rating for the 2025-26 school year. The rating is determined by the Texas Education Agency based on student achievement, school progress, and other metrics. No change occurred from the prior year’s designation.

Key Points

  • Houston ISD received a B rating from the Texas Education Agency.
  • The district’s rating remained unchanged for the 2025-26 school year.
  • Accountability ratings incorporate standardized test results and progress measures.

Implications for Educational Freedom

Accountability ratings supply parents with standardized data for comparing district and campus performance. Stable B ratings may affect eligibility for certain school choice or transfer options under state policy. Funding formulas and intervention thresholds often reference these annual designations.
