Episode Details

Texas schools are turning things around—about a quarter of districts and campuses saw grade improvements, signaling progress but also highlighting urgent needs. Houston ISD’s dramatic turnaround after state intervention led to a B rating and a plunge from over 100 failing campuses to just 14 this year. Austin ISD also earned a B, but two middle schools hit their fifth straight F, triggering legal threats of closure or state takeover. Dallas ISD got a B, while Northside ISD received a C. The A-F system remains controversial, with lawsuits delaying ratings for years, yet the stakes are high: failing grades can mean school shutdowns or district control by the state.
