GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Small Middle School earned an overall A with a score of 92. That is up 1 point from an A (91) in 2024-25 and its highest score in the last five rated years. Small has moved between A and B ratings: a B (89) in 2021-22, an A (90) in 2022-23 and a B (85) in 2023-24.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): A (92)

- School Progress: B, 87 out of 100 (Academic Growth B/87, Relative Performance B/85)
- Closing the Gaps: A, 91 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (89) in 2021-22, A (90) in 2022-23, B (85) in 2023-24, A (91) in 2024-25
- Austin ISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Small’s A is carried by Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, which rose from 91 to an A (92), and by Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, at an A (91). School Progress held at a B (87), with Academic Growth at 87 and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, up from a C (79) to a B (85). Small earned Comparative Academic Growth and Comparative Closing the Gaps distinctions in 2021-22 and none since, and it is not identified for state improvement support.
