Lindale ISD continues tradition of excellence,

Lindale—Lindale Independent School District announced that the district earned an “A” rating from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for the 2025–2026 school year. 

This accomplishment reflects the dedication of Lindale ISD students, teachers and staff, and support from parents and the Lindale community. 

“This is a testament to the incredible teamwork that happens every single day in Lindale ISD,” said Stan Surratt, superintendent of schools. “Our students work hard, our teachers go above and beyond to provide engaging and rigorous instruction, and our families consistently partner with us to ensure success. We are grateful for a community that values and supports public education.” 

The Texas Education Agency assigns accountability ratings based on a variety of performance indicators, including student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps for all student groups. Achieving an “A” rating at every campus is a rare distinction. 

“Our mission has always been to prepare each student for a successful future,” Surratt said. “These ratings show that our commitment to excellence is making a measurable difference.” 

Lindale ISD will continue to focus on innovative teaching strategies, strong student support systems, and a safe, nurturing environment to ensure continued success in the years ahead.
