Carroll ISD received an overall A rating from the Texas Education Agency’s 2025-26 accountability ratings.
The district’s overall score was 93 out of 100, an A rating. The TEA released the ratings Aug. 14.
The gist
The TEA accountability ratings evaluate districts on what students learn, how prepared they are for the next grade, and how a district prepares students for college, a career or military service, per the agency’s website.
The ratings are broken into three categories: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps. Student achievement is measured by graduation rates, performance on the STAAR test and how prepared students are for success after high school. CISD received a 95 out of 100 for student achievement.
The district received a B in both remaining categories, school progress and closing the gaps. CISD scored 85 out of 100 for school progress and 89 out of 100 for closing the gaps.
The school progress category evaluates how students perform over time and how a district’s performance compares to other districts with similar economically disadvantaged student populations. Closing the gaps measures how well a district ensures all student groups are successful.
Diving deeper
Of CISD’s 11 campuses, all of them received an A for 2025-26. All of CISD’s campuses also received an A rating for the 2024-25 accountability ratings.
Grades for individual campuses can be accessed through the TEA’s website.
Some context
The A-F accountability rating system was created in 2017 by the 85th Texas Legislature through House Bill 22. The rating system is designed to provide clear, consistent information about school performance related to student achievement, closing the gaps and school progress.
Across Texas, 24% of school districts improved their accountability rating year over year, according to a TEA news release.
“This year’s A-F ratings illustrate the progress Texas public schools are making and acknowledge the hard work of our educators while illuminating areas of needed improvement to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education,” Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said in the news release.
