Tomball ISD receives ‘A’ rating from Texas Education Agency for 7th consecutive year

Alongside its seventh consecutive overall “A” rating from the Texas Education Agency, Tomball ISD reported an increase in individual “A” ratings across its campuses this past school year.

The breakdown: TISD has managed to maintain its seven-year-long streak of overall “A” ratings from the TEA for the A-F accountability ratings. The purpose of the ratings is to grade individual campuses and their districts as a whole based on three main criteria:

Student achievement

Academic growth

Closing the gaps

TISD as a whole managed to improve its previous score in student achievement and academic growth this year, but fell behind in the “closing the gaps” category.

Quote of note: TISD’s Superintendent Martha Salazar-Zamora said the latest “A” rating from the TEA represents the “hard work and dedication the district has taken on to support its students.”

“Earning an ‘A’ rating for the seventh consecutive time is a direct reflection of the dedication, resilience and strategic vision shared across our entire community,” Salazar-Zamora said.
