🎉 Manara Academy has much to celebrate! We earned an overall 82/B on the 2026 Texas A-F Accountability Rating System, a 13-point increase that places us among the top 3% of Texas school systems for year-over-year improvement. Every Manara campus improved, and our campuses collectively earned nine TEA Distinction Designations for exceptional achievement, academic growth, and closing achievement gaps.
Manara also earned an A Superior Achievement rating with a score of 94 on Charter FIRST, reflecting strong financial stewardship and responsible use of public funds.
Thank you to our students, families, teachers, staff, leaders, and Board for making this success possible. Together, we are Building B.L.U.E. Prints for Success! 💙

Let's learn about something extraordinary together.
