CONROE, TX – Conroe ISD has received the highest designation from the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) state financial accountability rating, the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, known as School FIRST. The district received the highest possible score of 100 out of 100. The score earned the district a rating of “Superior,” with a letter grade of an A.

School FIRST ensures that Texas public schools are held accountable for the quality of their financial management practices and that they improve those practices. The system is designed to encourage Texas public schools to better manage their financial resources to provide the maximum allocation possible for direct instructional purposes.
Each district’s School FIRST ratings are based on 15 indicators, including a complete annual financial report which has been reviewed by an external independent auditor.
