Ratings and Information

Connally ISD — State Takeover (2025)

⚠️ Critical Update: In December 2025, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) took over Connally ISD, appointing both a Board of Managers and a Conservator to govern the district. This followed five consecutive years of "F" accountability ratings at Connally Elementary and Connally Junior High. Across the district, only 24% of students are meeting grade-level standards. The TEA Commissioner made a personal visit to the district in September 2025 before ordering the takeover in December. Families considering this district should be aware of the ongoing state intervention and monitor TEA updates closely. - Connally ISD overall TEA 2025 rating: F (multiple campuses) - La Vega ISD overall TEA 2025 rating: D (69/100) — 3rd consecutive year - Source: KWTX — TEA Takeover of Connally ISD | KWTX — TEA Commissioner Visit
