What this ranking counts

159 districts of 179 districts are ranked here.

14 were not rated by TEA for 2025-26 and are not ranked.

6 have no figure at the start of the window and are not ranked.

Ordered by the largest rise first. A negative figure is a decline.

146 of the ranked districts share a placement with at least one other. Tied districts print the same placement and the next placement skips, so two districts sharing 3rd are both 3rd and the one behind them is 5th.

A ranking by a raw figure is not a measure of teaching quality on its own: it correlates with school size and, more strongly, with how many of a school's students live in poverty. Every entity page on this site instead compares a school against a peer group — districts with districts, campuses with campuses — whose share of economically disadvantaged students falls within 10 percentage points of its own. This list does not: it orders by the raw figure alone. How the peer group is chosen.
