Each public school in Texas is rated annually by the TEA as Exemplary, Recognized, Academically Acceptable or Academically Unacceptable. Campus accountability ratings are based on results of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), taken by most students, and the State-Developed Alternative Assessment (SDAA), taken by selected special education students. Additionally, campuses serving grades 9 through 12 are evaluated on the completion rate of their previous year senior class and campuses serving grades 7 and 8 are evaluated on their previous year dropout rate.

Multiple performance indicators for each TAKS subject area tested are derived for all students and, as applicable, for four student groups: African American, Hispanic, White and economically disadvantaged. Multiple completion and dropout performance indicators are similarly produced for all students, as well as for the four student groups. SDAA tests results for all students tested are used to determine a single campus SDAA performance indicator.

The accountability rating awarded each campus is based on its lowest performance indicator. For example, an elementary school where 90 percent of all students and students in each student group pass the TAKS in all subject areas tested (indicating Exemplary performance) and students taking the SDAA pass 69 percent of the tests administered (indicating Academically Acceptable performance) would receive an Academically Acceptable campus accountability rating.

Specific criteria used by the TEA to award campus accountability ratings are available by clicking on this TEA accountability ratings requirements link.
