Leander ISD scored 87 out of 100 possible points in the Texas Education Agency's A-F accountability ratings, maintaining a "B" rating from last year.
The TEA released the 2025-26 ratings for Texas school districts on Aug. 14.
How it works
The accountability rating system was established during the 2017 legislative session. According to the TEA, ratings are based on measures of student achievement including State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, or STAAR tests; graduation rates; and college, career and military readiness outcomes.
"A," "B" and "C" ratings are considered passing, while "D" and "F" are failing ratings. Campuses rated "D" or "F" for two or more consecutive years are required to implement state turnaround plans.
Breaking it down
Per the data, LISD has:
- 19 "A"-rated campuses
- 13 "B"-rated campuses
- 11 "C"-rated campuses
- 2 "D"-rated campuses
- 2 "F"-rated campuses
Six campuses saw one-letter-grade improvements compared to 2024-25, while 13 campuses saw one-letter-grade declines. Bagdad Elementary and Camacho Elementary both saw a two-letter-grade decline. Twenty-six campuses maintained their ratings.
While no LISD campuses have had "D" or "F" ratings for two consecutive years since 2024-25, Giddens Elementary and Knowles Elementary received a "D" rating this year, and Bagdad and Camacho received "F" ratings.
