About Snapshot

Snapshot is a Texas Education Agency (TEA) product that provides general information about the characteristics of public school districts in Texas. Published since 1987–88, Snapshot presents a wide variety of information in a consistent format from year to year.

Topics include a variety of demographic information about students and staff, as well as financial information about school district budgets, property values, and state financial assistance. Items showing student performance on state administered assessment instruments and college admission tests are also included.

From 1987–88 through 2001–02 Snapshot was a printed publication. The printed publication included a narrative section with exhibits and appendices. Beginning with the 2002–03 edition, only the Detailed Statistics section of the book is provided, and only in an electronic format.

The Detailed Statistics section provides data for each school district and for selected groupings of districts. Other summarized data such as the Education Service Center region statistics are also provided.

Campus-level (school) data are not provided in Snapshot, but can be found in the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) or in the Accountability Ratings.

This website provides data from 1994–95 through the most current year available. Snapshot data from 1987–88 through 1993–94 is not available in an electronic format.
