Texas public school ratings — which grade how well districts and campuses educate their students and prepare them for the future — were made public for the first time in two years.

Results across the state have dropped after the Texas Education Agency implemented stricter scoring standards, and one North Texas school district is at risk of being taken over by the state after five consecutive years of receiving an F ranking.
