Stafford STEM Magnet Academy

5 years of ratings

2021-22 is shown under the refreshed methodology TEA adopted in 2023, so it is comparable with later years. Under the original scoring it was rated A with 97 that year.

How this school's change over time is ranked

TEA publishes most measures for one year only, so a change ranking exists just where the same figure is published across years — the overall score, the five score domains, and per-student spending. This page does not yet state where Stafford STEM Magnet Academy itself places on these lists, only that the lists exist; open one to find this school's own row.

These are selected high placements, not a summary. Every figure above this section is the full picture, including where this campus ranks poorly. Each statement below states its cohort and its denominator so it can be checked — a rank without an n is a boast, not a fact. Ties are shown because a shared ceiling is not a sole first place. Every ranking this site publishes, including the ones no school would put in a press release.

Where this comes from

Every figure on this page comes from data the Texas Education Agency publishes at txschools.gov, fetched 15 August 2026 and archived with a checksum so each number stays traceable to the bytes TEA served.
