Four questions · 1,202 districts · state records only
None of this is secret. All of it is hard to see, because the numbers that belong side by side are published apart — and two of the biggest are published in a form that makes them look smaller than they are. This puts them together, for every district, and shows its work.
Type a name. Everything below is that district's own file — the same four questions, answered with its own numbers and ranked against every other district.
Each line below states a published number against a published threshold. It is a description, not a finding of wrongdoing.
One year tells a board where it stands. It cannot tell them which way they are going — and that is the part still open to a decision. Every figure below is in constant 2024 dollars, from fiscal 2009 to 2025.
Pick a district above and its own line is drawn against the state's.
Every other figure on this site is what a district paid in one year. This is the balance. Texas school districts have borrowed to build, and the bill runs for decades — so the question a taxpayer actually asks about a mortgage is how much is left, how much of it is interest, and when it ends.
Every other figure on this page is measured at the district, because that is where money is reported. It is the wrong unit for the question a family asks: a district rating is an average over campuses, and an average hides its own tails. A child goes to a campus, not to an average.
There is deliberately no combined score. Debt, recapture, borrowing and results measure four unrelated things, and adding them would invent a league table the data cannot support. Each list is ranked on one measure, on its own terms.
