The [[Texas Education Agency]] issues an annual accountability report for each school district in the state. This rating determines if district schools fulfill expectations in four categories of educational achievement during a particular school year. The following terms explain these categories:  
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the [[U.S. Department of Education]], proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, '''proficiency levels are not comparable between different states''' and '''year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable''' because states may change their proficiency measurements.<ref>[http://www.ed.gov/edfacts ''U.S. Department of Education, Washington, DC: EDFacts'', "State Assessments in Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics- School Year 2018-19 ED''Facts'' Data Documentation," accessed February 25, 2021]</ref>

Academic performance

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[11]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:
