Jubilee Board Members and Leaders showing off our “Extraordinary Student Growth Award” by Choose to Succeed
At Jubilee Academies, this past semester was one to remember. Across our district, students, educators, and campus leaders came together with a shared commitment to excellence—and the results speak for themselves. From stellar Texas Education Agency (TEA) accountability ratings to statewide recognition for bilingual education, Jubilee Academies is proud to celebrate a semester defined by progress and impact.
As other districts and charters share their updates, we are honored to showcase how Jubilee continues to stand out as a premier choice for families across Texas.
Standing Tall: Strong TEA Accountability Ratings
The TEA accountability ratings released last semester reflect the dedication happening daily in our classrooms. These scores provide an objective look at how our schools compare to others across the state.
Jubilee Academies: B-Rated District
Jubilee Academies earned a B rating as a district, demonstrating consistent academic performance, responsible leadership, and a strong foundation for continued growth. This rating places our network among the top-tier charter districts in the state.
A-Rated Campuses: Exemplary Achievement
Two Jubilee campuses achieved the highest level of distinction with A ratings, placing them among the top-performing public schools in Texas:
Jubilee Harlingen
Jubilee Livingway
An "A" rating recognizes exceptional academic achievement and success in closing achievement gaps. For parents, this means these campuses are performing at an exemplary level, rivaling any top-rated school in their respective regions.
B-Rated Campuses: Solid Academic Momentum
Several campuses also earned B ratings, reflecting solid academic outcomes and continued momentum:
Jubilee Brownsville
Jubilee Lake View University Prep
Jubilee San Antonio
Jubilee Westwood (School of Innovation & Arts)
Note for Families: At Jubilee Westwood, our specialized "School of Innovation & Arts" curriculum combines these high academic standards with unique creative opportunities that set our students apart from those in traditional neighboring schools.
Statewide Recognition: Leading the Way for Emergent Bilingual Students
Jubilee Academies isn’t just meeting state standards; we are leading the conversation in bilingual education. We were named a 2025 Charter District of the Year Finalist for Closing the Gap with Emergent Bilinguals, earning Third Place in this prestigious statewide honor.
This recognition, part of the 2025 Summies Awards presented by Summit K12, was awarded from a highly competitive pool:
Over 750 districts
More than 4,000 schools
Nearly 100,000 Texas educators
Our success in this category means our students are gaining English proficiency and academic confidence at rates that outperform hundreds of other districts.
Additional Accolades Across the Jubilee Network
Our commitment to excellence has been recognized by community members and education advocates alike.
Charter School of the Year – Jubilee Harlingen: Named Charter School of the Year through the Valley Star Readers’ Choice Awards, a regional honor voted on by the community.
