Preliminary 2025-26 Public Education Grant (PEG) List Available
As the issuance of 2024 A-F ratings remains pending and subject to change based on judicial rulings, campuses that received an overall scaled score below 60 in 2023 were used to determine the Preliminary 2025-2026 PEG List, available on the Public Education Grant webpage. The preliminary list will be replaced with the final list when ratings are finalized in August 2025 to allow for any changes to the preliminary list resulting from the appeals process. Following the release of the final PEG list in August 2025, LEAs will have until September 1, 2025 to notify the parents of students assigned to a campus included on the Final 2025-26 PEG List.
Additional guidance can be found in the Public Education Grant (PEG) FAQ webpage

Approved College Preparatory Course List to be Implemented Only with 2028 Refreshed Ratings
In response to public comments received during the A-F Accountability Rating System Manual for 2026 ratings proposed rule public comment period, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) is deferring the proposed change to give credit to only those courses on the approved college preparatory course for College Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) list until the 2028 accountability year, with the 2026-2027 graduates. This change will be reflected in the proposed manual for 2026 ratings, which will be adopted in June 2025. The public comment period remains open for one more week until May 19th.
