How well are Dallas and Garland schools doing? School leaders share projected A-F grades

A lawsuit prevented the Texas Education Agency from publishing A-F scores for all state schools.

Dallas school leaders braced for a C rating for the district, down from the B it earned in 2021-22, but Texas’ official academic accountability grades are on hold once more because of a lawsuit.

Garland ISD, meanwhile, is projected to score a B, as it did two years ago.

The two districts had dozens more campuses earn Ds or Fs this year, compared to those that were not rated the last time grades were released, according to estimates.

Officials from the two districts released their projected grades on Thursday despite the ongoing legal battle against the Texas Education Agency that blocked the state from releasing A-F school accountability grades this week. The local school leaders said they are doing so in an effort to be transparent with families.
