Accreditation Status: Accredited
2017 Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) Rating: 100 (A)
2018 State Accountability Rating: 87 (B)
The 85th Texas Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 22, establishing three domains for measuring the academic performance of districts and campuses: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps. Seventy percent of the accountability rating is based on either Student Achievement or School Progress, whichever is the higher grade. Student Achievement (Domain 1) includes STAAR tests; college, career, military readiness; and graduation rates. School Progress (Domain 2) includes how much improvement students made from one year to the next on STAAR tests, or how well they did in relation to comparable campuses, whichever is greater. The remaining 30 percent is based on performance in the Closing the Gaps area (Domain 3) which looks at how well schools do educating children in up to 14 different student groups.
On August 15, 2019, TEA released the 2018-19 academic accountability rating for districts and campuses. CFBISD earned an 89 (B) overall in 2018-19 with the following Domain scores:
- Student Achievement 87 (B)
- School Progress 89 (B)
- Closing the Gaps 89 (B)
