Victoria ISD posts district-wide gains; three campuses earn A in 2025 Texas accountability ratings
Summary
District staff told the Board of Trustees that Victoria ISD improved across multiple accountability measures for 2025, with three campuses earning A ratings, no campuses receiving an F and a district score of 74 under the Texas Education Agency system.
At its Aug. 14 meeting, the Victoria Independent School District Board of Trustees received the district’s official 2025 Texas accountability ratings, which district staff said showed broad improvement across campuses and district indicators.
District staff member Tammy Shasta told trustees the district’s overall rating for 2025 is 74 and that three campuses earned an A. She highlighted that the district recorded zero F-rated campuses this year. "We have 0 F's. That is truly a testament to teamwork," Shasta said during her presentation.
The ratings reflect the Texas Education Agency (TEA) A–F accountability framework, which uses multiple domains: student achievement (Domain 1), academic growth (Domain 2a) and relative performance (Domain 2b), with a separate Domain 3 that measures closing achievement gaps. Shasta explained the state takes the best of Domains 1/2a/2b for a campus and that Domain 3 counts for 30 percent of a campus score.
Why it matters: TEA ratings are used publicly to report campus performance and are widely referenced by parents, staff and the community. District officials said the results validate ongoing instructional and attendance work and will inform planning for the coming year.
Key figures and distinctions presented by Shasta and district staff: - District overall score: 74; Domain 1 score 73, Domain 3 score 77 (Shasta said domain weighting produced the 74 overall). - Campus letter-grade shifts: the district reported 3 A’s, 8 B’s and no F’s for 2025; 86 percent of campuses earned a C or higher. - Noted A campuses: Mission Valley Elementary (92), Vickers Elementary (92) and other campus(es) announced in the presentation. - Graduation and college- and career-readiness (CCMR): the district CCMR scaled to a 91 (A); Victoria East High School scaled to a 90 (A) and Victoria West High School to a 93 (A). The TEA graduation rate used for accountability was 98.2 percent districtwide; Victoria East 99.5 percent, Victoria West 99.4 percent.
Shasta and board members also described distinction designations assigned by TEA. The district reported 25 distinction designations across campuses in categories including reading/ELA, mathematics, science, academic growth and closing the gaps. Several individual campuses earned multiple distinctions; Vickers Elementary was noted as having earned five of six possible designations.
Trustees and speakers emphasized that the gains followed coordinated work across campuses and central office: professional development, literacy and numeracy frameworks, new instructional planning and targeted observation and feedback systems. Trustee remarks during the meeting urged public recognition of the many campus employees whose daily work contributed to the results.
The district presentation included examples of large campus gains (one campus was reported as having a 23-point increase) and a reported 76 percent of campuses advancing one or more letter grades. Shasta cautioned that domain-level improvements can produce uneven-looking district results because different campuses’ best domains vary; she said the district expects continued gains in 2026 as current progress work translates into higher Domain 1 scores.
District staff said they will continue to publish campus-level detail and to implement literacy and numeracy frameworks, targeted professional development, and updated observation/feedback processes to sustain improvement.
