Texas accountability grades push several districts toward state intervention
TL;DR
Texas schools’ A-F accountability grades reveal ongoing struggles, with at least five districts—including Austin ISD, Waco, Greenville, Ector County and Ralls—teetering on state sanctions that could lead to takeovers or board replacements; AISD reports two middle schools failing for a fifth year though the district as a whole earned a B, while other districts show gains; ratings rely on STAAR results, college/career readiness, progress over time and serving underserved students, and districts can appeal their grades by Sept. 11.
