The Texas Education Agency (TEA) Accountability System assigns ratings to districts and campuses annually.  Schools are measured against similar campuses for academic performance overall and within small subgroups of student types.  To ensure our students are receiving everything they need to succeed, Waxahachie ISD, along with the Texas Education Agency and the U.S. Department of Education, provide the adjacent reports.

The TEA evaluates the performance of schools and districts with an A-C or NR (Not Rated) grade for the school year.

1. Student Achievement evaluates performance across all subjects for all students, on both general and alternate assessments, College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) indicators, and graduation rates.  Student Achievement Domain
2. School Progress measures district and campus outcomes in two areas: the number of students that grew at least one year academically (or are on track) as measured by STAAR results and the achievement of all students relative to districts or campuses with similar economically disadvantaged percentages.  School Growth Domain
3. Closing the Gaps uses disaggregated data to demonstrate differentials among racial/ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, and other factors.  The indicators are included in this domain, as well as the domain's construction, align the state accountability system with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
