School districts and campuses with combined State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) and college readiness indexes ranked in the top ten percent of Texas school districts and schools are awarded an academic performance score of 10, districts and schools with combined academic performance indexes in the ninth decile receive a score of 9, and so on.

South Texas ISD profile South Texas Independent School District operates two middle schools and four high schools. These six schools are attended by approximately 4,200 students.

South Texas ISD's 2018 TEA STAAR component scaled score is 93. As is further explained in the Texas Education Agency 2018 Accountability Manual, the STAAR scaled score is calculated by first adding equal weightings of the percentage of assessments on which students’ performance mastered grade level, met grade level and approached grade level, dividing the sum by 3 and rounding it to the nearest whole percentage. This raw STAAR raw component score is then adjusted or “scaled” by using a conversion table to align accountability letter grades and scores of Texas public school districts and campuses.

As indicated in the 2018 TEA STAARS scores graph (right) and shown in the South Texas ISD schools table (below), all six South Texas ISD campuses attained TEA STAAR scaled scores between 90 and 100. Likewise, the 2018 accountability rating for all South Texas ISD schools is Met Standard, the TEA's highest campus rating.
