2023 A-F Accountability Ratings Release
The 2023 district-level and campus ratings will be available to school systems in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application on Thursday, April 17, 2025, and publicly available and accessible on TXschools.gov Thursday, April 24, 2025.
TXSchools.gov will also report the 2022 What If Overall scale scores and ratings publicly for the first time. The 2022 What If ratings do not replace the final 2022 A–F ratings; instead, they are provided for reference. The 2022 What If and 2023 A-F ratings reflect the standards outlined in the 2023 Accountability Manual. School systems also can refer to additional resources for further background about 2023 accountability at the 2023 Accountability Development webpage.
Further information is available in the TAA: 2023 A–F Accountability Ratings published on April 8, 2025.
2025 Campus 3-12 Enrollment List Now Available
The 2025 Campus-3-12 Enrollment List is now available on 2025 Accountability System webpage. As explained in Accountability Rating System Manual for 2025 Ratings district domain and overall ratings are based on a proportionality method to ensure the alignment of district overall ratings with campus overall ratings. This is based on the number of students in membership in grades 3-12 at each campus receiving domain grades. District memberships were set in October 2024 based on Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) October snapshot data.
FAQ
What is the difference between membership and enrollment?
Membership is slightly different from enrollment. Membership does not include those students who are served in the district for fewer than two hours per day. A student is in membership in the district if: the student is enrolled in the district, and is either scheduled to attend at least two hours of instruction each school day or participates in an alternative attendance accounting program. Enrollment includes students reported as enrolled as of the TSDS PEIMS October snapshot date.
For the purpose of determining district ratings using campus proportionality, only campus membership counts for grades 3-12, excluding membership counts from Not Rated and paired campuses, are applied to each domain. Campuses evaluated under alternative education accountability (AEA) are included in the grades 3-12 campus membership counts used to determine campus proportionality.
Final Accountability Rating System Manual for 2025 Ratings Now Available
As was shared in TAA: Final Accountability System Manual for 2025 Ratings and Proposed Amendment to ESSA State Plan the rules for 2025 accountability are re-adoption of the rules previously adopted and communicated in the 2024 manual and as such there are no changes to the accountability manual for 2025 A–F accountability ratings.
Also communicated in above TAA, was information about 19 TAC §97.1002 which establishes that the annual accountability appeals window and due date will be communicated on the date preliminary accountability ratings are published in TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application.
The administrative rule adoption process for Chapters 1–12 of the Accountability Rating System Manual for 2025 Ratings and 19 TAC §97.1002 are complete, having been filed on March 17, 2025, and going into effect on April 6, 2025. The Accountability Rating System Manual for 2025 Ratings is now published on the 2025 Accountability Manual webpage.
College Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) Tracker Part I Now Available
The CCMR Tracker Part I and explanatory materials were released in the TEA Login (TEAL) accountability application on March 28, 2025. This tool provides districts with a means to track CCMR indicator completion throughout high school for students reported as enrolled in grades 9–12 on the TSDS PEIMS October 2024 snapshot. The CCMR Tracker will be released in two stages.
Part I released March 28, 2025, utilizes the following data:
- CCMR indicators submitted via PEIMS through SY 2023-24
- OnRamps and TSIA results through SY 2023-24, and
- SAT, ACT, AP, IB, and level I/II certificate results through SY 2022-23
Part II will be released in Summer 2025, and will utilize the following data:
- SAT, ACT, AP, IB, and level I/II certificates updated through SY 2023-24
Please note, the CCMR Tracker contains lagging data and while the CCMR Tracker contains students who were in grades 9–12 on the 2024–25 PEIMS snapshot, it does not contain results from school year 2024–25 as those data have yet to be reported. Additionally, corrections to the information presented in the CCMR Tracker cannot be submitted to TEA; this tool is for informational purposes only. If districts find errors, they are encouraged to work with testing vendors to make corrections.
More information about CCMR Tracker Part I can be found in the To The Administrator Addressed Correspondence published on April 3, 2025.
2024 Student Assessment Data Validation
As of March 28, 2025, LEAs may retrieve their Student Assessment Data Validation (SADV) report to determine if the LEA triggered any SADV indicators by logging into the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. Reports can be found under the “Performance-Based Monitoring” tab.
As a reminder, if an LEA triggers an SADV indicator, they are expected to conduct a local review. LEAs should review their data and related policies and procedures to ensure that accurate data have been reported to the agency and if program implementation concerns and/or incorrect data are identified, LEAs should address those issues locally. LEAs that conduct local reviews are not required to submit anything to the agency at this time but may be asked to share their findings if issued a compliance review by TEA’s Self-Reported Data Unit. Superintendents will be notified by email in early May if their LEA is issued a compliance review related to SADV.
Defense Department Form 4 (DDF4) Upload Portal Closed
The DDF4 collection window closed April 4, 2025. LEAs will have the opportunity to make corrections to military enlistment data when the 2025 CCMR Verifier opens in the TEA Login (TEAL) accountability application during Summer 2025.
2025 Alternative Education Accountability (AEA) Registration Window Closed
The Alternative Education Accountability (AEA) registration window closed April 4, 2025. The 2025 Final List of AEA Campuses will be posted on the 2025 Accountability System webpage
PEIMS Summer Submission Preparation – Updated Timeline
Although the initial PEIMS Summer Submission is not due until June 20, 2025, LEAs are strongly encouraged to begin preparing for that submission now to allow adequate time for review to ensure the accuracy of the data submission. Please note, the PEIMS Summer Submission includes data, such as course completion, used for accountability calculations.
As LEAs continue to align their local data systems with the TSDS Upgrade, TEA TSDS PEIMS strongly urges districts to accelerate their timeline to prepare for the Summer Submission as noted below. The accelerated timeline will ensure LEAs have ample time to resolve Fatal edits, review warnings, complete reviews of TSDS campus reports and any resulting data edits prior to the final review and sign-off by LEA leadership by June 15, 2025.
Depending on district size, a sample timeline to prepare for the Summer Submission might include the following approximate dates below.
Step 1: By early April, LEAs should have already completed their first phase of data collection and entry into SIS for Summer Submission. (Campuses use SIS to enter data) For example, some possible data to enter are first semester course completion data, IBCs, and associate degrees earned during the first semester.
Step 2: Updated Deadline April 18 – Campuses complete review and correction of first phase of data in the SIS. The LEA PEIMS Coordinator can then begin to promote the data and begin to resolve Fatal edits, review all warnings, and run reports in TSDS for the campus to review.
Step 3: No later than June 15 – The LEA PEIMS Coordinator completes resolution of all possible SIS data discrepancies through ongoing communication with each campus which then allows for review of all warnings, resolution of all Fatal edits, and report production for review and sign-off by LEA leadership before the PEIMS Summer Submission deadline on June 20, 2025.
LEA verification of PEIMS data prior to each final submission is an essential step that helps both the district and the local system vendor ensure the data entered accurately reflects LEA performance. Because LEAs, not their information system vendors, are ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the data submitted to PEIMS, LEAs are strongly encouraged to utilize the available PEIMS reports and PEIMS business data validations to identify possible issues in the data and verify the data in PEIMS prior to the final deadline for each submission.
The accepted data in the PEIMS system as of each final resubmission deadline are used by numerous programs across TEA, including calculating and reporting state and federal accountability outcomes. Data submitted through working collections are not used for accountability purposes. Additional assistance for PEIMS submissions is available from your supporting Education Service Center (ESC) or TEA by accessing the TSDS Incident Management System (TIMS).
