Texa schools A-F grades relatively flat while more districts hope to avoid takeovers
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas public schools maintained stable A-F accountability grades, with 24% of over 9,000 campuses receiving an A, while 57% earned a B or C, and 14% received a D or F. Five districts, including Austin and Waco, are at risk of state intervention due to chronic underperformance. Austin ISD officials reported that two middle schools failed state standards for the fifth consecutive year. Education Commissioner Mike Morath noted progress in high-poverty schools earning A ratings. The ratings influence parental school choices and business investments, while districts have until September 11 to appeal their grades to the Texas Education Agency.
