  • High School Graduates GPA in Higher Education 2018-2019 (PDF)
    Report of 2018-2019 High School Graduates’ Enrollment and Academic Performance in Texas Public Higher Education in FY 2020 Texas statute requires every school district to include, with their performance report, information received under Texas Education Code §51.403(e). This information, provided to districts from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), reports on student performance in postsecondary institutions during the first year enrolled after graduation from high school. Student performance is measured by the Grade Point Average (GPA) earned by 2018-2019 high school graduates who attended public four-year and two-year higher education in FY 2020. The data is presented alphabetically for each county, school district and high school. The bookmarks can be used to select the first letter of a county. Then the user can scroll down to the desired county, school district and high school. For each student, the grade points and college-level semester credit hours earned by a student in fall 2019, spring 2020, and summer 2020 are added together and averaged to determine the GPA. These GPAs are accumulated in a range of five categories from < 2.0 to > 3.5. If a GPA could not be calculated for some reason, that student is placed in the “Unknown” column. GPA data is only available for students attending public higher education institutions in Texas. If a high school has fewer than five students attending four-year or two-year public higher education institutions, the number of students is shown but no GPA breakout is given. If a student attended both a four-year and a two-year institution in FY 2019, the student’s GPA is shown in the type of institution where the most semester credit hours were earned.
