Governor Greg Abbott Recognizes Academic Success of PSJA ISD
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Governor Greg Abbott acknowledged the academic success of several school districts in the state during a press conference, highlighting the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo (PSJA ISD) district in the Valley. Due to its performance, PSJA ISD received an 'A' rating with an overall score of 90, ranking among the top large school systems in Texas. This recognition follows the release of Texas's A-F Accountability Ratings for 2026. The governor also noted the district's participation in the Teacher Incentive Allotment (TIA) program. Abbott compared the performance of Austin ISD and PSJA ISD, stating: 'In Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, over 60% of schools have an A rating. In Austin, by contrast, less than a quarter of their schools have an A rating. In Pharr-San Juan-Alamo, there are no schools with an F rating. In fact, they have no schools with a C, D, or F rating.' He added, 'So, what does Pharr-San Juan-Alamo have that Austin ISD does not? Well, it’s not money. It’s not a wealthy community. What they have is a commitment to excellence.'
