TEA releases school district reports cards; Austin ISD faces possible takeover as Fort Worth shows improvements
School district report cards from the Texas Education Agency are in, and another large school district is facing a potential school takeover.
Austin ISD had two schools score their fifth consecutive failing grade, triggering a potential state takeover.
If the TEA intervenes, it will join Houston and Fort Worth as large districts under state control.
Here's a closer look at scores in Fort Worth ISD, which reflect work done before the state takeover and are based on results from the previous school year:
- 14 A-rated campuses
- 38 B- rated campuses
- 39 C- rated campuses
- 18 D- rated campuses
- 9 F-rated campuses
In comparison to the 2024-2025 school year, Fort Worth ISD decreased the number of "D" and "F" schools from 24 D's and 10 F's.
So-called ELEVATE schools were previously some of the lowest-performing campuses in the district. Of those 19 campuses, 12 improved.
Most notable is Diamond Hill jumping from a "D" to an "A". The remaining campuses sustained their "D" or "F" ratings.
However, the following new campuses dropped to an "F":
- Woodway Elementary School: C to F
- Carter Park Elementary School: C to F
- Sunrise McMillan Elementary School: C to F
It's not clear whether these will be converted to ELEVATE campuses based on their scores.
While Austin ISD is facing a potential takeover, Greenville ISD avoided one. It boosted Crockett Elementary from four consecutive "F" ratings to a "B".
