Round Rock ISD Gets B Grade From State: See Your School’s Grade
The Texas Education Agency gave out A-F grades for individual schools for the first time in addition to the district and charter grades.
ROUND ROCK, TX — Round Rock ISD received an overall B accountability grade from the Texas Education Agency. The ratings were released on Thursday for approximately 1,200 school districts and charter schools.
For the 2019 ratings, the agency provided A-F ratings for individual schools in addition to the letter grades it usually provides for district and charters. The grades are given based on performance in the following three categories:
- Student Achievement: shows how much students know and are able to do at the end of the school year.
- School Progress: shows how students perform over time and how that growth compares to similar schools.
- Closing the Gaps: shows how well different groups of students within a school are performing.
The majority of districts and charters in the state received an overall B rating while 301 received an A rating. 14 districts and charters received an F rating from the state. Compared to 2018, more districts and charters received overall A and B grades and fewer received overall F grades.
