Yearly accountability ratings have been released by the Texas Education Agency, highlighting the performance of Texas public schools in the 2024-25 school year.
Leander ISD received a B rating, scoring 88 out of 100 points.
The overview
The scoring system for TEA’s accountability ratings provides an overall grade for school districts as well as grades for individual school campuses within them.
These grades are based on factors including student academic achievement, test results, graduation rates, and distribution of grades among different student groups.
The details
When compared to 2023-24, LISD’s 2024-25 rating appears to have improved slightly for the district overall, from an 86 to an 88.
As for individual school campuses, 47 received a rating for 2024-25, and of those 22 received an A, 12 received a B, 12 received a C, and one received a D.
Campuses receiving a D or an F is considered “unacceptable” under state law and must develop a turnaround plan and submit it to the TEA by Nov. 14, according to a letter sent to schools from the TEA.
Schools that dropped a letter grade include:
- Ada Mae Faubion Elementary School (C to D)
- Grandview Hills Elementary School (B to C)
- River Place Elementary School (B to C)
Schools that jumped up a letter grade include:
- Bagdad Elementary School (D to C)
- Christine Camacho Elementary School (D to C)
- Lois F. Giddens Elementary School (D to C)
- Officer Leonard A Reed Elementary School (C to B)
- Patricia Knowles Elementary School (D to C)

Some context
According to state law, A-F ratings must be sent out by the TEA by Aug. 15 of each year. However, 2023-24 ratings were blocked for a year following a lawsuit filed by 33 Texas school districts against the TEA. The school districts argued that the agency’s rating system made it impossible for some schools to earn a high score.
In July, Texas’ 15th Court of Appeals ruled that the 2023-24 ratings could be released, and the TEA consequently shared them alongside rankings for 2024-2025.
