What this page is for
Texas is the first non-California expansion because THECB publishes high-school-to-college destination files by campus, district, county, and destination institution. You can now browse one indexable page per Texas high school and compare reported UT Austin feeder enrollment without mislabeling those outcomes as acceptance rates.
What the official data can answer
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board publishes a long statewide summary from Fall 2000 through Fall 2024, annual campus destination files, and separate first-year GPA files. The site joins the 2019–2024 files on stable nine-digit campus codes and retains all published destination rows plus six-digit FICE codes. The files report enrollment outcomes, not admissions offers.

Important caveats
- The THECB high-school destination files are enrollment records, not admit or application records.
- The state-level THECB summary runs back to Fall 2000, but the local high-school chart uses the annual campus-level files available for Fall 2019 through Fall 2024.
- "Not found" does not necessarily mean a graduate did not attend college; the report is scoped to the institutions covered by the source.
- The campus-level file is limited to high schools with more than 25 graduates and suppresses small destination counts into "Other" rows.
- The GPA report uses activity across the academic year and may not match the fall-only enrollment counts; GPA bands are suppressed for public sectors with fewer than five students.
FAQ
Does Texas publish high-school college acceptance rates?
The useful public Texas source is mainly college destination data: where graduates enrolled after high school. Acceptance-rate pages should use college-level IPEDS, Scorecard, and Common Data Set sources rather than treating destination records as admissions offers.
What Texas content should be built first?
The high-school destination pages and UT Austin feeder page are live. The next useful layer is policy-aware Texas college profiles using admissions sources that are distinct from the THECB enrollment outcomes.
