The Texas Education Agency has released the latest A-F school accountability ratings for 2024-2025.
Overall, Chisum ISD and Prairiland ISD earned the highest ratings in Lamar County, each receiving a B. Paris ISD and North Lamar ISD both received an overall C rating.
Within the district, Travis High School of Choice achieved the highest campus rating with an A, while Crockett Intermediate, Frank Stone Middle, and Aaron Parker Elementary received the lowest ratings with a D.
The ratings are determined by the school’s performance in three different categories: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps.
Student achievement and school progress make up 70% of the final ranking, according to the TEA. The rest is determined by the ‘closing the gap’ metric.

In grade school, student achievement measures whether or not students met expectations on the STAAR test. For high school campuses, it also measures graduation rates and college/career readiness.
School progress measures how students perform on state tests over time and how that performance compares with other schools with similarly economically disadvantaged students.
Closing the gap measures how well schools are boosting scores among special needs and English as a second language learners.
