Klein ISD received a ‘B’ accountability rating for the 2025-26 school year from the Texas Education Agency based on its A-F accountability system, according to TEA data released Aug. 15.
The big picture
As previously reported by Community Impact, 85% of campuses in the state received a rating of ‘C’ or higher, which is considered “acceptable academic performance” by the TEA. High school ratings are based on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness scores combined with students' success after graduation in their college, career and military readiness, whereas elementary and middle school ratings are largely based on STAAR scores.
Per the TEA, the system measures students' learning and whether or not they are ready for the following grade-level. Ratings are based on three domains:
- Student Achievement: measures whether students met STAAR test expectations, graduation rate, students preparedness post-high school
- School Progress: students performance over time and how it compares to similar schools, and academic growth from year to year
- Closing the Gaps: measuring performance across all student groups
A-F ratings provide information on school and district performance to serve as a tool for parents, educators, policymakers and local communities to make informed decisions regarding student success, according to a TEA news release.
Zooming in
24% of Texas’s 1,202 rated school districts received a higher rating than the previous school year, per a news release.
KISD saw an increase of two points in their overall rating compared to the previous year scoring 88 out of 100 possible points, and the district saw year-over-year increases in two out of three domains, per TEA data.
