Official Notification of 2022 Academic Accountability Ratings

To the Superintendent Addressed:

The official 2022 accountability ratings, data tables, and reports are now available in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application.

The reports in TEAL are confidential and should not be shared with the public. Ratings and public versions of the data tables (with masked data) will be available here and on TXschools.gov on Monday, August 15.  

A district wishing to appeal a campus or district accountability rating should register its intent to appeal using the TEAL Accountability application and submit a written appeal with supporting documentation to the commissioner. Detailed instructions on submitting an accountability rating appeal are provided in “Chapter 8—Appealing the Ratings” of the 2022 Accountability Manual. The appeals registration system is now open and is accessible through TEAL. The 2022 appeals registration system will close at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, September 12, 2022. Appeals must be postmarked by September 12, 2022. 

District Responsibilities

• Public Meeting. With the August 15 release of the 2022 ratings on the public accountability website, campus-level planning and decision-making committees must schedule a public meeting to comply with Texas Education Code (TEC), §11.253(g), which requires each committee to hold at least one public meeting after the release of accountability ratings to discuss campus performance and performance objectives.
• Rating Consequences. The Texas Education Agency’s Division of School Improvement will communicate with districts to outline future state, district, and campus actions, where applicable, resulting from these accountability ratings. Districts and campuses with questions about school improvement requirements should contact the School Improvement Team at their regional ESC. Other questions may be directed to the Division of School Improvement at (512) 463-5226.
• Notice on Website and in Student Report Cards. Districts are required to publish accountability ratings on their websites and include the rating in student report cards.

Districts must

• by the 10th day of the new school year, post on the district website the most current accountability ratings and the most recent performance reports, and
• include the most current campus performance rating and distinction designations, if applicable, with the first student report card each year, along with an explanation of the rating and distinction designations.

What's Next?

On August 15, all 2022 accountability reports will be released on the agency’s public website and on TXschools.gov. The public accountability reports and data tables will be masked to protect student confidentiality.
