Texas School Rankings

Texas Public K-12 School Rankings are based on data from the Academic Excellent Indicator System (AEIS) provided by Texas Education Agency. There are two sets of rankings:

• Standard Rankings are based on the following:
  
  
  • Elementary Schools: The percentages of Third graders who passed both Math and Reading Tests, the percentages of Fourth graders who passed All Three (Math, Reading, and Writing) Tests, and the percentages of Fifth graders who passed both Math and Reading Tests.
  • Middle Schools: The percentages of Seventh graders who passed both Math and Reading Tests, and the percentages of Eighth graders who passed All Five (Math, Reading, Writing, Science and Social Studies) Tests.
  • High Schools: The percentages of Tenth graders who passed All Three (Math, Reading, and Writing) Tests, the percentages of students who took the AP/IP Tests, and the percentages of students who took the SAT/ACT Tests.
  You have the option of (i) Ranking all schools in the State of Texas (choose "All Regions" in the toolbar to the left), (ii) Comparing individual regions (choose "Region Vs. Region"), and (iii) Comparing all schools in a given region (choose, for example, "Austin" Region).

Notes:

• Grade level distributions are not consistent throughout Texas. For example, fifth graders are in Elementary Schools in some areas; but in other areas, they are in Middle Schools. This site classifies Elementary Schools as those with third, fourth, or fifth graders; Middle Schools as those with seventh or eighth graders; and High Schools as those with tenth graders. As such, some schools may be classified in more than one category. Likewise, schools that do not include all grades are not ranked appropriately.
• Results presented on this site are for All Students; we do not break down the results for different racial/gender/economic groups. Also, the results are for the English (not the Spanish) version of the standardized tests.
• Results for AP/IB/SAT/ACT Tests are delayed by one year.
• For the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 academic years, schools with more than 99% passing are listed as 99% passing. Apparently, this was done to comply with federal privacy requirements.
