Central Texas school district and education officials reacted today to preliminary state ratings placed on every ISD and campus within each district.

The system change results from a 2015 state bill that required the Texas Education Agency to release a provisional set of accountability ratings for every state school district and campus. The ratings are based on 2015-16 as a trial run; however, the first official ratings under the A-F system will not be released until August 2018.

James B. Crow, executive director of the Texas Association of School Boards, said in a statement that the rating system is a flawed concept.

"These new A-F ratings are just a symptom of the larger sickness: an unhealthy fixation on standardized testing and standardized expectations," he said. "There are 1,028 school districts in Texas, and no two are exactly the same. Trying to apply the same accountability measures primarily based on one standardized test is a disservice to our kids, their families, and our educators."

Here is how each Austin-area school district fared. For a more extensive breakdown of each Central Texas school and district reactions, view scores for each campus in the links provided below each district. See also our previous coverage on how the new system will affect districts.
