What is the A-F State Accountability System?

The design of A–F reflects a commitment to recognize high student achievement and recognize the impact of highly effective educators on student progress, while maintaining focus on the students most in need. As schools begin the hard work of recovery after disrupted learning during COVID-19, now is the time to refocus on goals that directly address post-pandemic student needs. A refresh of the accountability system will also allow Texas to leverage lessons learned over the last five years to improve the rigor, transparency, and fairness of the accountability system, while maintaining a design with ratings based on defined criteria rather than a fixed distribution, that allows all districts and schools in the state the opportunity to earn an A. 

The refresh in 2022–23 is based on more than two years of feedback from stakeholders. As part of the continuous improvement process, the agency has consulted with stakeholders on enhancements to the accountability system. The proposed enhancements described in the updated preliminary framework are designed to provide parents, community members, and educators with the data essential to drive improved outcomes for all Texas children
