The Texas Education Agency grades Texas public schools every year on what students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade. It also shows how well a school prepares their students for success after high school in college, the workforce, or the military, according to its website.
The TEA website said the 2024 accountability reports cannot be shared publicly because of a different, ongoing lawsuit than the one that prevented the release of the 2023 ratings.
School performance ratings from the 2024-25 school year are scheduled to be issued in August.
