Relating to the disclosure of a public school student's numerical class rank.
SB 203 prohibits Texas public school districts from disclosing a student's exact class rank before 11th grade, except for academic programs requiring it. Students and their families directly affected include those in grades 9-10 who may need their rank for college applications. The bill allows schools to share grade point averages and percentile rankings at any time. It takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year, pending final legislative approval.
