Comal ISD says its 2026 accountability score increased to 88, a B, extending a run of annual improvement that the district says began in 2023.
Comal ISD families now have a new districtwide B rating to compare with campus results; the district says its overall score has improved each year since 2023.
The Texas Education Agency released the 2026 A-F ratings Aug. 14 for 1,202 districts and 9,105 campuses. TEA says 24% of districts and 24% of campuses improved from 2025, placing Comal ISD’s reported gain within a broader statewide round of improvement.
Comal ISD also describes itself as the only public school district with more than 1,500 students in Education Service Center Region 20 whose overall grade has increased every year since 2023. That comparison is the district’s claim in its Aug. 18 announcement.
For statewide context, Comal.News’ earlier report on Texas’ 2026 school ratings explains the statewide release and the first local comparison questions it raised.
The Next Comparison
The districtwide result establishes movement at the system level. The next useful examination is campus by campus: which schools changed letter grades, which held steady and which accountability domains drove the overall increase. Those details will determine whether the districtwide gain was broadly shared or concentrated among particular campuses.
