Accountability & Evaluation
General Information
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) strives to help parents and community members understand how well schools and districts are serving students. Each year, TEA gives schools and districts a rating based on student performance, growth, and readiness for the next grade level or graduation. This system looks at how students do on the STAAR test, how much progress they make over time, and how well schools prepare students for college, career, or the military. Schools are also rated on how well they serve different student groups, such as English learners, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students. This state accountability system consists of three domains which receive "letter grade" ratings of A-F for each domain as well as an overall rating.
McKinney Accountability System (MAS)
DueIn addition, in collaboration with our parent and community stakeholders, MISD has developed its own McKinney Accountability System to help measure and report on indicators of success that are important to our community. Additional information on this locally developed system can be found here.
Parent and Family Engagement (PFE)
Parents and guardians are encouraged to review the MISD parent and family engagement plan. It is available here in English and Spanish. Additional information is also available our PFE page.
Accreditation Status
Information about our most recently available accreditation status is available here.

A-F Ratings
Texas annually rates its public schools and districts on the academic performance of their students.
The current 2025 A–F ratings as well as detailed performance data history containing information from prior years is now available at TXschools.gov.
Understanding the Rating System
The A–F accountability system assigns one overall grade for each district and four grades for each campus: Overall, Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps.
Student Achievement evaluates performance across all subjects for all students, on both general and alternate assessments, College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) indicators, and graduation rates.
School Progress measures district and campus outcomes in two areas: the number of students that grew at least one year academically (or are on track) as measured by STAAR results and the achievement of all students relative to districts or campuses with similar economically disadvantaged percentages.
Closing the Gaps uses disaggregated data to demonstrate differentials among racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds and other factors. The indicators included in this domain, as well as the domain’s construction, align the state accountability system with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR)
Due to changes in legislation, the performance report formerly known as the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report is now the Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR).
The annual TAPR presentation was held at the February 24,2025 meeting of the MISD Board of Trustees. For a breakdown of MISD campus TAPR information, please visit our MISD Accountability Information page. Note that the most recent TAPR reports may not reflect the most recent A-F rating.
School Report Cards
The school report card (SRC) combines accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures to give a broad view of campus performance. The most recent SRC is available on TXschools.gov.
