Lake Travis IDS earns near-perfect financial accountability score

Lake Travis ISD received a Superior Achievement rating under the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, earning 98 out of 100 possible points. The 2025-26 report utilizes data from FY 2024-25 and indicates a four-point increase from last year. 

LTISD has earned Superior Achievement for 24 consecutive years, according to district officials.

How it works

The FIRST system is how the Texas Education Agency rates the financial accountability of all public school districts in the state. Scores are based on 21 indicators, with four critical indicators that will result in automatic failure if not met, according to previous Community Impact reporting. 

Indicators analyze district funds and measure metrics such as fund balance, debts, student attendance and communication with the public. 

The district scored eight out of 10 points on indicator 11, which analyzes if the ratio of long-term liabilities to total assets is sufficient to support solvency.

Looking back

Last year, the district earned 94 out of 100 points, scoring six out of 10 points on indicator 11. Additionally, the district scored eight out of 10 points on indicator 13, which deals with administrative cost ratios.

"The fact that for 24 years we have an unblemished record ... I'm very appreciative for all of the work our business services department does," board member Erin Archer said.
