Houston ISD received the 2022-23 academic year “C” with Texas Educational Institution Accountability Rating for School Districts across the state.
The assessment was released on April 24th, following a delay in the lawsuit, tea officials said.
The announcement follows the April 3rd ruling by the Texas 15th Court of Appeals, which overturned a lower court injunction that blocked the 2023 rating for more than a year.
In August 2023, more than 100 school districts sued Tee Commissioner Mike Moret, claiming that the agency’s improved accountability system was “illegal” and unfairly harmed the district.
“It is important for the community to know that the data released today reflects the performance of the district and its schools before the state’s intervention and the appointment of Director Mike Miles,” an HISD official said in a statement on April 24th. “The 2022-2023 review confirms what many already know: HISD was a very unfair system that needed urgent change.
In a nutshell, put it in a nutshell
The state’s AF accountability system is designed to measure whether students are prepared for the next grade level and how well each district prepares for success after high school, Community Impact reported previously.
“For too long, families, educators and communities have been denied access to information about school performance, thanks to the flirty lawsuits paid in taxes filed by those who opposed the statutory goal of raising career preparation expectations to help students,” he said in a news release on April 24.
Tea officials said the method of calculating the 2022-23 rating was “updated to reflect performance more accurately.”
HISD received 72 of 100 points on 2022-23, TEA data shows.

Nearly 11% of traditional Texas school districts received an “A” rating, with 40% earning a “B” according to Tea’s latest accountability report. Approximately 32% received a “C”, 14% received a “D”, and 3% received a “F”.
HISD had 189,290 students enrolled between 2022-23. During this period, around 79.5% of students were financially disadvantaged, 9.1% were involved in special education programs and 37% were emergency bilingual students, according to TEA data.

Texas school districts were rated through the AF system from 2021-22, when about a third of districts across the state received a 2021-22 “A” rating and, according to previous reports, a small “B.”

2017-18: Not rated by Hurricane Harvey 2018-19: HISD received 88 points or B2019-20. “The public publication of the school system assessment has a positive impact on children’s academic and life outcomes. This is a good thing. We do this because we help our children.”
What’s next?
Tea remains prevented from issuing grade ratings for the 2023-24 year period due to another case pending in the state court of appeals. Morath also said the tea intends to release the 2024-25 rating on August 15th by state law.
“AF ratings are so open to it, so it’s a leadership challenge that our leaders are borne by, but this is a cross that is publicly funded and endured to have massive children in our schools. It’s up to us to work as transparent as possible for our children.”
