Houston Schools Double A-B Ratings | Washington DC News

Houston ISD’s accountability ratings are soaring—more than double the schools earning A or B grades since last year—despite ongoing state intervention and new leadership. Superintendent Mike Miles addressed viral backlash from a Wheatley High teacher, Darius Williams, who voiced alarm over seniors’ basic reading and writing skills. While acknowledging the long-standing issue, Miles credited the district’s higher expectations for driving student progress, saying the push is working and reducing such troubling cases. Wheatley itself earned an A rating—a major turnaround—and stands as a beacon of the district’s broader academic turnaround effort.
