How did your school district score according to TEA in 2022-23?
The Texas Education Agency rates each school district with a letter grade from A-F, while, the criteria are based on standardized test scores, academic growth, college and career readiness.
Ten school districts received a 'D' rating including Nacogdoches, Jacksonville, Crockett, Palestine- Westwood, Liberty- Eylau, Murchison, San Augustine, Trinity, Rains and Grapeland ISDs's.
One district, Nacogdoches ISD says they are 'disappointed' about its 'D' rating.
'The district does not oppose testing at the end of the year to measure student progress. STAAR exams in grades three through eight and the end-of-course exams for high school students provide valuable feedback to teachers and campus administrators. The reports are granular, allowing individual students to be identified that need assistance and we used that data two years ago to guide instruction for students moving forward,' Nacogdoches Communications, Les Linebarger said.
Seven districts received and 'A' rating including Springhill, Carlisle, Wells, Broaddus, Maud, Pleasant Grove and the UT Tyler University Academy. Longview and Lufkin ISD's received a 'B' and Tyler ISD received a 'C' score.
'It's also important to point out the ratings don't reflect the full picture of Nacogdoches ISD,' Linebarger said. 'These accomplishments don't simply happen when students reach high school. It's due to the support and guidance received along the way, beginning in kindergarten, and progressing through elementary and middle school.'

Tyler City Council approves resolution to add new path connecting parts of the city
TYLER, Texas (KETK) — The Tyler City Council approved a resolution on Wednesday in support of a grant used to build a share use path that will connect Downtown Tyler, hospitals and Tyler Junior College. Anderson County flooding calls for water rescues and closed roads The Midtown to Downtown Shared Use Path is aimed to be a two and a half mile, 10 foot-wide path that would connect popular Tyler destinations such as Downtown Tyler, the new Smith County Courthouse and UT Tyler School of Medicine. This path would be an accessible way for Tylerites to travel on foot from East Fifth Street to South Broadway Avenue. Safety standards for the path include access ramps, lighting, wide concreate trails, signalized intersections and more. Though the path has an estimated $4.8 million price tag, the city expects to qualify for Transportation Development Credits which would completely fund the project through grants instead of a local match. If funding is awarded, the Texas Department of Transportation will help design and develop the project. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Fort Worth ISD (FWISD) announced their preliminary 2024 STAAR results on Tuesday and states their intentional focus on literacy is already resulting in gains for students across the district. Big picture view On Tuesday, during the regularly scheduled Board of Trustees meeting included FWISD Superintendent Dr. Karen Molinar. Dr. Molinar presented preliminary STAAR scores from spring testing. The preliminary data showed reading performance scores are on the rise. FWISD not only met its strategic plan literacy goal but surpassed it by four percentage points. What they're saying "Beyond third grade reading, we are also seeing gains in nearly every tested subject in third through eighth grades, a strong signal that our instructional strategies and support systems are driving meaningful outcomes for students across the district," Superintendent Dr. Karen Molinar said. "Our work does not stop here. In fact, it's only just begun. Moving forward, we have to remain focused on literacy and be willing to make changes in areas we are not performing as we should be," Molinar added. By the numbers Results for the grades 3-8 STAAR showed no decreases in reading scores for all grades, with gains ranging from 2-7%. Preliminary scores also show: • 4th grade reading and math scores went up at all levels – Approaches, Meets, and Masters. • 5th grade reading scores improved at the Meets and Masters levels, while the Approaches level stayed the same. The biggest gain was at the Meets level, with a 5% increase. • The percentage of students achieving the Masters level in US History increased to 25%, reflecting growth among our highest-performing students. • 85% of students taking the Biology EOC scored at Approaches Grade Level or higher, and the percentage meeting or exceeding grade level expectations rose significantly. Dig deeper FWISD says they recognize the challenges in English I and II performance and are diving deeper into the data to act with urgency to address performance challenges. Superintendent Dr. Molinar is putting new measures in place to address these deficiencies, such as demo classrooms with instructional modeling, and a full curriculum redesign with tiered support tailored to student needs. What's next As FWISD moves into the 2025-26 school year and implements the District Wide Strategic Plan, every decision Fort Worth ISD makes will focus on what truly drives student success. The district is already launching a bold and aggressive redesign of literacy and math frameworks. This includes more instructional time in middle schools, a new phonics program for kindergarten through second grade, and enhanced dyslexia tools. "We will continue to work to give every student in Fort Worth ISD the tools they need to succeed. I am proud of our teachers and students and what they accomplished this year, but we will hit the ground running in August and continue to improve. Every second and every student counts", said Molinar. The Source Information in this article was provided by the Fort Worth Independent School District.
