A-F school ratings released. See how Coastal Bend schools scored
Students are just starting to think about grades, but for their school districts and campuses, it's that time of the year when the report card comes in. The Texas Education Agency released public school accountability ratings for the 2025-26 school year. The A-F ratings are based on student performance and growth on State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness exams, as well as measures of college and career readiness. They measure how well schools are preparing students. For campuses that repeatedly fall short, earning a failing grade from the state for too many years in a row, the consequences can include the potential of a state takeover, as has happened in school districts such as the Houston and Fort Worth independent school districts. But in the Coastal Bend, most school districts were able to boost their overall state accountability rating. Across Nueces, San Patricio, Aransas and Kleberg counties, the highest-rated public school districts include the Santa Gertrudis, Bishop and London school districts, all earning A ratings. The only districts that earned a D rating, not including charter schools, were the Robstown, West Oso and Kingsville school districts. The districts that improved the most include the Agua Dulce, Aransas Pass, Kingsville
