Academic achievement

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) releases its yearly state accountability ratings for over 1,000 school districts and charter schools across Texas. Districts and schools receive A-F ratings. Statewide, hundreds of districts and schools, were rated in 2020 and 2021 as Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The A-F rating system in 2022. On August 15, TEA released its latest accountability ratings and Anthony ISD was one of four (out of 12 in the Region 19 area) districts to earn an overall A rating. All AISD campuses received an overall score of A or B in the latest accountability ratings. AISD schools were also recognized with Distinction Designations that include top 25 percent comparative academic growth, postsecondary readiness and top 25 percent comparative results to close gaps.

"While there is still much work to do, this rating demonstrates that we are clearly headed in the right direction academically. This is a reflection of our staff and teachers’ renewed focus on learning outcomes so that we can begin the long road of closing gaps caused by the pandemic. More than anything it shows a united commitment by our school board, our community and staff that our students deserve the very best education possible,” said Dr. Troncoso, Anthony ISD Superintendent.
