SHSU’s “Today at Sam” passes along that The Sam Houston State University Charter School received an overall A rating for the 2022-23 academic year from the Texas Education Agency (TEA), placing it among the top 10% of Texas school districts. The SHSU Charter School was one of just 128 Texas school districts to earn the top distinction. Though these ratings reflect performance from the 2022-23 school year, TEA publicly released the data for the first time in April.
The SHSU Charter School was established in 2017 as a tuition-free, open-enrollment public charter school serving kindergarten through fifth grade students at three locations in the North Houston area. The initiative extended the university’s longstanding legacy of fostering educators and community advancement.
In 2017, TEA established the A-F accountability system to offer transparent and reliable insight into school performance across three main areas: student achievement, school progress and closing the gaps.
