Elements of the school profile information included on TXschools.gov, including the school address, phone number, principal name, and school website, are populated from the information supplied by districts within AskTED. Prior to July 31, 2026, districts should ensure that the address, phone number, and principal name are accurate for the 2025-26 school year in AskTED, as well as the validity of the school website linked.
- Review the information available on AskTED for each campus to ensure that the address, phone number, and principal name are accurate for the 2025-26 school year, as well as the validity of the school website linked.
- As needed, update the school profile information with AskTED. Instructions on how to make profile updates in AskTED are available in the online Help Content TED Administrator Questions.
Updates made after July 31, 2026 will not be reflected on TXschools.gov for the August 14, 2026 public ratings release, and the school profile page will not be updated again until after September 1, 2026. Updates made between June 1st and July 31st will not be reflected on TXschools.gov until August 14th.

Removal of Accountability Reports and Student Listings in TEAL
In order to facilitate the posting of 2026 accountability reports, all 2025 accountability reports and student listings for all campuses and districts will be removed from the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application.
The accountability reports consist of accountability summaries, calculations, and data tables for each domain. Accountability student listings include data that was used to calculate the STAAR performance, College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR), and English Language Proficiency components for accountability.
The 2025 reports, accountability reports, accountability downloads, and student listings will be removed prior to the release of 2026 accountability ratings. Once removed, the data contained in each report and student listing will be unavailable. Additionally, the 2025 Accountability Appeals Form and the 2025 Final Accelerated Testers Student Listing will also be removed. Please ensure your district downloads and retains copies of these reports and data for your records by August 11th, 2026.
Updates to the Performance Reporting Calendar of Events
The Performance Reporting Calendar of Events has been updated to reflect upcoming releases. Additionally, July .ics calendar files are now available, allowing you to add these events directly to your personal calendar.
Here’s what's new in this update:
- The 2026 Final CCMR student listing and Final Consolidated Accountability File (CAF) will be available in early August.

Download CCMR Tracker Part I by July 22, 2026
Districts are encouraged to download and save any files or reports needed from the current College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Tracker Part I before the release of CCMR Tracker Part II. Upon the release of Part II on July 23, 2026, the existing Tracker Part I data will be cleared and replaced with updated information for students reported in grades 9-12 during the 2025-26 school year. The CCMR Tracker, Part II, will not include any information on 2025 annual graduates or non-grads. As such, districts should retain any Part I downloads needed for local records or analysis by July 22, 2026.
Best Practices for PEIMS Extended Year Submission
Join us for the Best Practices for PEIMS Extended Year Submission Webinar on July 24th, 2026, at 10:00 am CST. This session will highlight key considerations, common pitfalls, and practical strategies to support accurate data submission and ensure student outcomes are fully reflected in accountability results. Attendees will gain clarity on how Extended Year submissions connect across reporting cycles and learn how to review and validate data effectively.
Please note: Participants must have a Zoom account to register.
Coming Soon: College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Tracker Part II
The CCMR Tracker Part II will be released on July 23, 2026, through the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. CCMR Tracker Part II will include SAT, ACT, AP, IB, and Level I/II certificate results updated through the 2024–25 school year, providing districts with the most current non-PEIMS CCMR indicators available for local planning and analysis. This release complements CCMR Tracker Part I, which includes PEIMS-submitted CCMR indicators, TSIA results, and OnRamps data through the 2024–25 school year.
The CCMR Tracker, Part I, also contained data for the 2025 annual graduates and non-graduates. Those students reported in grade 12 on the TSDS PEIMS Fall 2024 Snapshot Submission to better support schools and school systems in preparing for both the CCMR Verifier and PEIMS Working Submissions. Students who will be included in 2026 accountability ratings, 2025 annual graduates and non-graduates, will not be included in the CCMR Tracker, Part II. Data updates for 2025 graduates and non-graduates for SAT, ACT, AP, IB, and Level I/II Certificates were already communicated through the CCMR Verifier Listing on June 4, 2026. The Final CCMR Listing for 2025 annual graduates and non-graduates will be available in early August and will include data updated through the CCMR Verifier and eligible PEIMS Working Submissions.

2028 Academic Accountability Rating System Refresh Timeline
As a reminder, the 2028 Academic Accountability Rating System Framework was released on March 19, 2026. The 2028 A-F system will incorporate cut points that will not increase for 5 years, until the next refresh, using a methodology consistent with statutory requirements calibrated based on baseline performance data.
To ensure the 2028 refresh uses the most recent baseline data possible, 2028 cut scores will be calculated by including 2026 results data later this year. Given the timelines involved, we anticipate that the proposed 2028 manual with cut scores will be released in Fall 2026. Adoption of the final 2028 manual and 2026 What If ratings will follow soon after, anticipated in Early 2027.
New: 2028 A-F Accountability Refresh FAQs
The 2028 A-F Accountability Refresh FAQ document is now available on the 2028 Accountability System Development Webpage. This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document is intended to answer common questions about the proposed updates to the 2028 accountability system that have been received since the release of the 2028 framework on March 19, 2026, specifically through the Q and A features in our webinars. The FAQ document will be updated periodically to ensure a comprehensive catalog of stakeholder questions is documented and answered in advance of the proposed 2028 Accountability System Manual in Fall 2026. This FAQ document does not replace statute, rule, or other official accountability guidance.
2026 Campus Comparison Groups
The 2026 Campus Comparison Groups are now available. Each campus is assigned a unique comparison group of similar Texas schools to support accountability evaluations. These groups are used to determine Distinction Designations, with campuses with acceptable ratings earning distinctions based on top-quartile performance within their comparison group, as outlined in Chapter 6 of the 2026 Accountability Manual. The Campus Comparison Groups search tool is available on the 2026 Accountability Rating System webpage.
2026 School Improvement Identification: Former Special Education Student Group Overview
A new resource, 2026 School Improvement Identification: Former Special Education Student Group Overview, is now available on the 2026 Accountability Rating System webpage. Prior to 2026, within SI identification frameworks, former special education was defined as students formerly receiving special education services if, in any of the preceding three years, as reported in TSDS PEIMS, they were receiving special instruction and related developmental, corrective, supportive, or evaluative services, but who were no longer participating in a special education program. This has changed to reporting as receiving services one year prior. This change was made in response to public comment on the proposed 2026 Accountability System Manual and was incorporated into Chapter 10 of the adopted manual based on legislative definition and requirements.
This resource provides guidance on how the Former Special Education student group is considered in school improvement identification for 2026. District staff involved in school improvement planning are encouraged to review this resource to ensure a clear understanding of this change and how updates will be reported in 2026 resources.
