Median SPED Support Percentile of ranked schools
The SPED Support Score (0 to 100) measures how well a school supports students in special education across six components. The percentile compares that score with other Texas schools at the same grade level: a school at the 90th percentile scored higher than about 90% of them.

How this page was made
All figures come from 2025 Texas Education Agency data. Schools are ranked by SPED Support Percentile, which compares each school only with schools at the same grade level, then by SPED Support Score. District totals add up every school that reported the figure, and the student-to-teacher ratio divides special education students by special education teachers (full-time equivalent) across the schools that report teachers. Read the full scoring methodology.
