Plano ISD received an overall B rating, 85 out of 100 points, from the Texas Education Agency’s accountability ratings for the 2025-26 school year.
The district’s score improved from the previous school year, when it also received a B but had a score of 82 out of 100 points. An 85 is the highest score PISD has received since the rankings were revamped for the 2022-23 school year.
What you need to know
The score measures “how much students are learning in each grade and whether or not they are ready for the next grade. It also shows how well a school or district prepares their students for success after high school in college, the workforce, or the military,” according to TEA’s website.
The rating is broken into the following three categories:
Student achievement, which measures whether students met expectations on the STAAR test along with graduation rates, and how prepared students are for success after high school.
School Progress, which measures how students perform over time and how the performance compares with similar student populations.
Closing the Gaps, which measures how well a district ensures that all student groups are successful.
PISD gained in all categories from 2024-25-to-2025-26, receiving a B in all three.
