McKinney ISD has released its 2025–2026 McKinney Accountability System report, providing families, staff and the community with a comprehensive look at district performance and progress based on the educational outcomes identified as priorities by the McKinney community.
The McKinney Accountability System is McKinney ISD’s Community-Based Accountability System (CBAS), an approach designed with input from students, parents, educators and community members to provide a broader picture of the work taking place across the district.
While state accountability ratings provide important information about student performance on standardized assessments, the McKinney Accountability System complements those measures by examining additional indicators that reflect the priorities and expectations of the local community.
“Our community has been clear that student success is about more than a single test or a single measure,” said McKinney ISD Superintendent Shawn Pratt. “The McKinney Accountability System allows us to look more comprehensively at how we are serving students, where we are making progress and where we have opportunities to improve. Most importantly, it provides transparency and accountability around the outcomes our community has told us matter most.”
The development of the McKinney Accountability System began in fall 2023 as part of the district’s Strategic Plan and McKinney ISD’s work with the Texas Public Accountability Consortium (TPAC). Through community surveys, stakeholder committees and conversations with students, parents, staff and community members, the district worked to identify the areas stakeholders believe are most important to a high-quality educational experience.
Those priorities became the foundation for the indicators included in the McKinney Accountability System and are aligned with the goals and strategies outlined in the McKinney ISD Strategic Plan.
The annual report is designed to do more than provide a snapshot of where McKinney ISD stands today. By reporting on the same community-defined indicators each year, the district can track performance and progress over time, celebrate areas of strength and identify opportunities for continued growth.
The result is a more complete story of McKinney ISD—one that incorporates multiple measures and perspectives while keeping the district focused on the educational outcomes and its community values.
The 2025–2026 report and additional information about the McKinney Accountability System are available on the McKinney Accountability System page of the McKinney ISD website.
