Texas school districts with the highest Social Studies — Approaches in 2025-26
998 districts · page 1 of 2 · in 2025-26 · TEA data fetched 15 August 2026
Social Studies — Approaches, as TEA published it in 2025-26. Measured across Texas school districts, of which 998 districts are ranked below.
What this ranking counts
998 districts of 1,020 districts are ranked here.
1 was not rated by TEA for 2025-26 and is not ranked.
21 reported no figure for this measure and are not ranked.
Ordered from the highest figure downward.
991 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.

What this list leaves out, and the other lists

Where this comes from
The ranked measure and accountability context come from data the Texas Education Agency publishes at txschools.gov, fetched 15 August 2026. Enrollment shown as context comes from TEA's separate PEIMS Student Program reports. TEA publishes the ratings; it does not publish this ordering. This site is unofficial and is not affiliated with TEA. How this site works records the snapshot this page was built from and what this site does and does not verify about it.
