What’s New in Performance Reporting
A–F Accountability
Valuable new features and updated data elements are now available on TXschools.gov. This year, given the impact of COVID-19, all districts and schools received an accountability label of Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster. Accountability labels and data shown on TXschools.gov reflect prior year(s) accountability outcomes; however, finance and profile data were updated to reflect the most current information.
