2026 TEA A–F ratings for 12 North Texas school districts
Seven of the 12 school districts that share a name with a city we cover earned an A in the Texas Education Agency's 2026 ratings, led by Coppell ISD at 93 out of 100. Anna ISD was lowest, a C at 74 (Texas Education Agency). Only one changed letter grade from 2025: Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, which moved from a B to an A (Texas Education Agency).
The 2026 grades, district by district
TEA released its 2026 A–F accountability ratings on August 14, 2026, rating 1,202 districts and 9,105 campuses statewide (Texas Education Agency). Twelve of the cities Where In DFW covers have a school district of the same name. In TEA's 2026 ratings spreadsheet, seven of those districts earned an A: Coppell ISD (93), Wylie ISD (92), Frisco ISD (91), Melissa ISD (91), Prosper ISD (91), Grapevine-Colleyville ISD (91) and Allen ISD (90) (Texas Education Agency). Three earned a B: McKinney ISD (87), Celina ISD (85) and Plano ISD (85). Two earned a C: Little Elm ISD (78) and Anna ISD (74) (Texas Education Agency). Each number is the district's overall score out of 100. TEA's list has two Wylie ISDs; the one here is in Collin County (Texas Education Agency).
What changed since 2025
Only one of the twelve changed letter grades: Grapevine-Colleyville ISD rose from a B (86) in 2025 to an A (91) (Texas Education Agency). Plano ISD rose three points, from 82 to 85, and Frisco ISD one, from 90 to 91. Anna ISD fell four points, from 78 to 74, and Celina ISD two, from 87 to 85. Allen, McKinney, Melissa and Little Elm each slipped one point, and Coppell, Prosper and Wylie scored the same as in 2025 (Texas Education Agency). Statewide, TEA says 24% of districts and campuses moved up a rating from 2025 (Texas Education Agency).
Inside the grade
TEA's spreadsheet also breaks each overall grade into parts, including Student Achievement, School Progress and Closing the Gaps ratings (Texas Education Agency). For these twelve districts, School Progress was a B or a C in every case; none earned an A on it. Coppell ISD had the highest Student Achievement score (94) and Anna ISD the lowest (75) (Texas Education Agency). TEA also rates every campus separately, so a school's grade can differ from its district's (Texas Education Agency).
Check the district for an address
A district's name is not a city limit, and some covered cities have no district of their own name: TEA's list has no The Colony, Flower Mound or Southlake ISD (Texas Education Agency). TXschools.gov, TEA's ratings site, has a map that searches schools by address and compares them (Texas Education Agency). For costs that come with a district, see the Collin County property tax rates guide, which lists each Collin district's 2026 tax rate.
