(Austin) — The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released its long-awaited 2025 A–F accountability ratings for schools and districts across the state, restoring a system that had been on hold for two years due to legal challenges.
Locally, the results painted a mixed picture. Seguin ISD received an overall grade of D, while Navarro ISD and Marion ISD both earned B ratings.
Seguin ISD: Mixed Results
Seguin ISD’s districtwide D reflected uneven performance across its campuses.
F-rated: Jim Barnes Middle School, the district’s only failing campus.
D-rated: Seguin High School, Rodriguez Elementary.
C-rated: Vogel Elementary, Weinert Elementary, A.J. Briesemeister Middle School.
B-rated: Ball Early Childhood Center, Jefferson Avenue Elementary, Koennecke Elementary, McQueeney Elementary, Patlan Elementary.
A-rated: Mercer-Blumberg Learning Center — the district’s lone top-performing school.
While some elementary schools and the district’s early childhood center earned high marks, the overall rating reflects challenges at the secondary level.
Navarro ISD: Strong Consistency
Navarro ISD performed well overall, earning a B as a district.
B-rated: Navarro Elementary, Navarro Intermediate, Navarro High School.
C-rated: Navarro Junior High.
With three of its four campuses rated a B, the district’s performance remained steady, reflecting both stability and room for growth.
Marion ISD: High School Leads the Way
Marion ISD also earned an overall B, with stronger results at the high school level.
B-rated: Marion High School.
C-rated: Norma Krueger Elementary (Primary), Bert Karrer Elementary (Intermediate), Marion Middle School.
While the elementary and middle campuses earned C’s, the district’s high school performance helped balance the overall rating.
Statewide Trends
The TEA rated 1,208 districts and 9,084 campuses statewide in 2025. Compared with 2024:
24% of districts and 31% of campuses improved their letter grade.
Most schools maintained their previous rating.
About 15% of campuses declined.
43% of high-poverty campuses earned an A or B, reinforcing, according to TEA officials, that “demographics do not equal destiny.”
Commissioner’s Statement
Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said the return of ratings restores clarity for parents and communities after two years of delays caused by lawsuits challenging the system.
“Today marks a return to clarity and accountability,” Morath said. “With the release of the 2025 A–F Ratings, we are reinforcing our commitment to transparency and to providing accurate, readily available information that helps every family understand how their school is doing.”
About the A–F System
The A–F Accountability System was established in 2017 by the Texas Legislature through House Bill 22. Ratings are based on three areas: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps.
According to the TEA, the ratings are designed to encourage continuous improvement while providing parents, educators, and policymakers with clear information. The agency says the system balances fairness with rigor, setting ambitious goals for student success while recognizing progress where it occurs.
