In 1995, the Texas Legislature created the Public Education Grant (PEG) program. It permits parents of children assigned to attend schools that meet certain criteria to request that their children transfer to other schools or other districts.Ìý

Because the issuance of 2024 A-F ratings remains pending and subject to change based on judicial rulings, campuses that received an overall scaled score below 60 in 2023 were used to determine the Preliminary 2025-2026 PEG List. The preliminary list will be replaced with the final list when ratings are finalized in August 2025 to allow for any changes to the preliminary list resulting from the appeals process.

On or before February 1 of each year or as determined by ÂÜÀòÉç, every district must notify the parents of students assigned to a campus on the PEG list of their eligibility to request a transfer. Districts that accept these transfer students (known as PEG transfers) receive weighted funding for each PEG transfer.
