The A-F Accountability System measure how much students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade, according to the Texas Education Agency.
"Frisco ISD has done well in the state’s accountability system for many years, and we’re proud to see that success continue," FISD Superintendent Mike Waldrip said in a district news release. "But we know there’s more to the story. Our local accountability system helps us look at the bigger picture of student success—the things a single state rating can’t show."
In a nutshell
Among its 77 schools, all FISD campuses received an A or B campuses except for five which received a C designation—Bright Academy, Christie Elementary School, Lone Star High School, Shawnee Trail Elementary School and Staley Middle School.
How it works
The A–F Accountability System was established in 2017 by the 85th Texas Legislature through House Bill 22 to provide clear and consistent information on how schools are performing in three key areas:
- Student Achievement, which measures student performance across all subjects on the STAAR test, graduation rates and student readiness for post-high school success.
- School Progress, which measures the number of students who grew academically and district performance compared to other districts with similar economically disadvantaged student populations.
- Closing the Gap, which uses data to find differentials between ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds and other factors.

One more thing
Frisco ISD officials created an accountability system for the district several years ago. The district improvement plan serves as a local accountability system and its purpose is to work toward improvement efforts through the school year.
After goals are set by the school board, a committee of central office staff develop strategies and action plans to make progress in the goals throughout the year.
