The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released its 2026 A-F Accountability Ratings, providing SCUC with another important measure of student and campus performance as the district begins the 2026-2027 school year.
This year’s results reflect areas of sustained performance and academic growth across the district. SCUC ISD maintained an overall B rating, 11 campuses improved or maintained their ratings, Steele High School earned an A, and three campuses received Distinction Designations. The results provide reasons to celebrate while also helping district and campus leaders identify where continued focus and support are needed.
2026 Results at a Glance
Highlights from this year’s results include:
District overall rating: 81 (B)
Byron P. Steele High School II earned an A rating.

11 campuses improved or maintained their overall rating from 2025
While SCUC is proud of the area of progress reflected in this year’s results, the data also identifies opportunities for continued improvement. District and campus leaders are reviewing these results to better understand the contributing factors and determine where additional focus and support are needed.
“Accountability results provide important information where our students are succeeding and where we have opportunities to improve,” said Paige A. Meloni, Superintendent. “We celebrate the progress reflected in these results while recognizing that it is our responsibility to continually evaluate how well we are meeting the needs of every student. That work doesn’t begin or end with a letter grade.”
One Measure in a Larger Picture
Texas accountability ratings are one of multiple measures SCUC uses to understand student and campus performance. Each year, administrators and teacher leadership teams review these results alongside other data to identify areas of strength, understand the needs of its current students, and establish priorities through its annual Campus Improvement Plan.
That work continues regardless of a campus's rating. An A is an accomplishment worth celebrating while still providing opportunities for continued growth, while lower ratings help identify where additional focus and support may be needed.
“Students' needs change from year to year, and our work must continue to evolve with them,” said Kelly Kovacs, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. “We celebrate achievement and progress while continuing to look for ways to improve because no single measure tells the complete story of a campus or the students it serves.”
