Texas SB203 restricts disclosure of a public school student's numerical class rank until the student enters the 11th grade.

Texas SB203 amends the Education Code to restrict the disclosure of a public school student's numerical class rank until the student enters the 11th grade. Exceptions allow for disclosure if a student demonstrates a reasonable need to know their numerical class rank, such as for applying to an academic program. Grade point average and percentile rank can be disclosed at any time. The changes apply starting with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill can take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses, otherwise it will take effect on September 1, 2025.
