Texas released its public school ratings for the first time in five years, showcasing a troubling academic decline in the Lone Star State between 2022 and 2023.

On Thursday, the Texas Education Agency released the 2022-23 academic year public school accountability ratings, which measure how well districts educate their students. A state appeals court allowed the ratings to be made public this month after over 100 school districts mounted a multiyear lawsuit against the TEA over changes to its grading standards.
