For the first time since the pandemic, Texas schools will again be rated based on standardized tests. But for one year only, schools that receive a D or F will get a “not rated” label.
Sign up for The BriefFor the first time since the pandemic began, Texas public schools will be rated based on how students score on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness — more commonly known as the annual STAAR test.— which includes 782 charter schools — since the COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures in early 2020.
The new A-C rating this year will allow districts that still have a D or F from 2019 to have a shot of getting a better grade. There’s fear that this year’s test scores may be impacted again because of pandemic-related school closures and teacher absences that occurred during surges in infection caused by the delta and omicron variants of the coronavirus.Even though the rating system has been changed this year, not everyone is a fan of the school rating system to begin with.
