TEA Posts Preliminary 2024-25 ISD & Charter Fiscal Ratings

The TEA late Friday afternoon (Aug. 8, 2025) posted the 2024-25 preliminary Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST) data (based on SY 2023-24 data).

Although the vast majority received preliminary passing ratings, there were 20 ISDs (including Fort Worth ISD) and 10 charters that received preliminary failing fiscal ratings.

The final ratings will be announced in November to reflect the outcome of appeals.

• Note: The preliminary FIRST ratings for ISDs are posted here — and here for charters (non-university and university).

The preliminary FIRST data is summarized below.
