HOUSTON — Houston ISD leaders are celebrating major academic gains as the Texas Education Agency releases its latest A–F accountability ratings — the first full set of statewide grades in two years following legal delays.

Superintendent Mike Miles announced during Tuesday night’s HISD Board of Managers meeting that the district has gone from 56 F-rated campuses two years ago to zero this year. The number of A and B-rated schools has more than doubled, jumping from 93 to 197.

“We went from 56 F-rated campuses two years ago to now zero,” Miles said. “We also went from 93 A and B schools to now 197.”

Miles says the district’s long-term goal is to have all 273 campuses reach A or B status within the next three years, even though 18 schools are still rated D.
