EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released the 2025 Accountability Ratings for school districts across the state, including El Paso.
As KTSM previously reported back in April, the TEA had barely released the 2023 ratings with a two-year delay due to lawsuits local school districts were a part of over the agency’s new grading system.
According to the TEA, the 2024 ratings were also made available following the resolution of the lawsuit.
The following ratings were given to El Paso school districts for 2023:
- El Paso Independent School District: C (78)
- Canutillo Independent School District: B (81)
- Socorro Independent School District: B (83)
- Ysleta Independent School District: B (86)
The accountability ratings are “structured to balance rigor, fairness and transparency; establishing goals for preparing students for postsecondary success while acknowledging their effort and progress,” read the news release from the TEA.
