Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Travis Heights Elementary earned an overall C with a score of 76. That is down 9 points from a B (85) in 2024-25. Travis Heights was an A in 2021-22 (92) and 2022-23 (90), then a B (84) in 2023-24, so 2025-26 continues a gradual decline.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): C (76)
- Student Achievement: C, 73 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: C, 79 out of 100 (Academic Growth C/79, Relative Performance C/72)
- Closing the Gaps: D, 69 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: A (92) in 2021-22, A (90) in 2022-23, B (84) in 2023-24, B (85) 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. The main reason for the 2025-26 drop was School Progress, which fell from a B (89) to a C (79) as Academic Growth dropped from 89 to 79. Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, slipped from 77 to a C (72). Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, fell from a C (77) to a D (69), and Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, eased from 75 to a C (73). TEA identified Travis Heights for targeted support and improvement in 2024-25 and for additional targeted support in 2025-26. The campus earned distinctions in ELA/Reading and Comparative Academic Growth in 2021-22 and none in the years since.
