The Texas Education Agency (TEA) recently released the 2022 state accountability ratings for school districts and charter schools throughout the state, which included scaled scores and the first A-F ratings assigned since before the pandemic.
As in 2019, South Texas ISD, as a whole, as well as all campuses, received “A”s for its overall letter ratings. The district received A ratings in all areas evaluated, with an overall scaled score of 97, and the Postsecondary Readiness Distinction Designation, the only one available at the district level. STISD has received this designation every year since it became available, a total of seven times.
All STISD campuses also received “A” ratings, and three campuses received all distinction designations for which they were eligible – South Texas ISD Preparatory Academy in Edinburg, South Texas ISD Rising Scholars Academy in San Benito, and South Texas ISD Science Academy in Mercedes.
The current state accountability system “grades” campuses and districts on performance within three different domains: Student Achievement (All Students), School Progress (All Students), and Closing the Gaps (All Students and Disaggregated Student Groups).
Based upon performance within the different domains, campuses and districts receive a raw score, which is then converted into a Scaled Score and eventually a letter grade (“A”-“F”).
