* '''Student Achievement:''' Measures student performance on the annual Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test.
* '''Student Progress:''' Measures student performance in reading, math and writing courses at the district level.
* '''Closing Performance Gaps:''' Measures year-to-year performance among students in the lowest-performing demographics.
* '''Postsecondary Readiness:''' Measures student readiness for college, employment or military service after graduation.
 
Abilene Independent School District received a Met Standard designation on the state's 2013 report. District schools met 93% of indicators set forth by state education officials and all four assessment categories. The following table details the district's accountability report during the 2012-2013 school year:<ref>[http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/account/2013/static/summary/district/d221901.pdf ''Texas Education Agency,'' "Accountability Summary 2013: Abilene ISD," accessed February 25, 2014]</ref>
