(KTAB/KRBC) – The Texas Education Agency has released their letter grade ratings for districts and schools statewide for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
TEA ratings judged each district and campus on Student Achievement (measures STAAR test scores, graduation rates, and how prepared students are for post-school endeavors), School Progress (shows how students perform over time and how the district compares to others with similar economically disadvantaged student populations), and Closing the Gaps (measures how well the district is assuring all students are successful).
Big Country Schools are mostly in the Region 14 district, with a few also in Region 15.
Overall, 15 districts in Region 14 received A letter grades, 24 received B letter grades, and 5 received C letter grades.
Highland and Ira ISDs tied for the top score, with an overall average of 95, while Hawley and Abilene ISDs tied for the bottom scores, with an overall average of 75.
