Background on A-F Refresh
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has spent the past two years getting feedback from various people across Texas, like teachers, parents, and community leaders, to figure out how changes can improve the state's education system. They want to make sure Texas is a leader in preparing students for life after school.
They introduced the A–F accountability system in 2017 to measure student performance and reduce achievement gaps based on race and income. Now, they're making significant changes to make the system more challenging for students. They'll continue to grade schools based on either student achievement or progress, whichever is higher, and focus on helping students who need it most.
Before 2017, the grading system changed every year, making it hard for schools to compare their performance over time. Since 2017, they've kept the grading criteria mostly the same, but now they're updating it to make it harder to get a higher rating compared to the past years.
Due to a new law, they will only update the grading criteria every few years instead of annually. This approach will give parents and educators a good way to see if students are improving each year. However, because they're making significant changes this year, it's not appropriate to compare the ratings this year with previous years.
The new grading criteria will stay in place for about the next five years, setting a new baseline. Also, recent laws require yearly ratings, and they are not able to use "Not Rated" statewide, even during a transition in the new grading system.
