Wellman-Union CISD celebrates ‘A’ ranking from Texas Education Agency - KCBD

The rating covers the 2025-2026 school year and is built on three measures: student achievement, which leans heavily on STAAR test results. School progress, which compares student performance to the prior year. And closing the gaps, which tracks whether performance differences exist among different student groups. All three moved in the right direction for Wellman-Union.

What makes this number stand out is the size of the school doing it. The district serves only 245 students across pre-K through 12th grade. That is a small enough enrollment that every single classroom, every teacher, and every student carries real weight in how the final score lands. There is no large campus to absorb a weak year somewhere else in the system. A 92 in that context is not an accident.

For families in the Wellman area, this rating is a direct signal about what their kids are getting day to day. TEA accountability scores shape everything from state funding conversations to how a district is perceived when families are deciding where to put down roots.

Wellman-Union's 245 students just outscored plenty of districts with thousands more.
