Provided by the Houston Independent School District (HISD) for the 2008-2009 school year. Academic ratings were based on the Texas Education Agency Accountability System, which rated schools according to four categories (Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable, and Unacceptable) based on school-wide performance on standardized test scores, rates of completing grades, and dropouts. Paired schools share the same letter in lieu of their actual names, as requested by HISD.
