Two Austin ISD schools receive fifth consecutive F rating, potentially opening district up to state takeover

Two middle schools within the Austin ISD have received their fifth consecutive F ratings. This development significantly increases the possibility of a state takeover for the entire district. The announcement occurred on Thursday, just one day before the TEA publicly releases statewide accountability ratings. Despite months of efforts by the district to avoid such an outcome, these failing ratings move Austin ISD closer to potential state intervention and oversight regarding its educational performance and management.
