Clear Creek ISD improved in the state’s annual A-F accountability ratings by one point for the 2025-26 school year, according to new data released by the Texas Education Agency.
The TEA released scores Aug. 14, as previously reported by Community Impact.
How it works
Texas schools are rated on an A-F scale based on three criteria: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps.
Elementary and middle school ratings are largely based on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR, which students begin taking in third grade, while high school ratings are based on the STAAR and how well students are prepared for success after graduation.
The student achievement benchmark measures whether students met expectations on the STAAR and how prepared they are for graduation. The school progress criterion tracks how students perform over time and how a campus’ performance compares to other schools with similar student populations, while the closing the gaps domain looks at “how well a school or district is ensuring that all student groups are successful,” per the TEA.
State law requires that annual A-F ratings be issued by Aug. 15 of each year.
