HonestEd is Live--And We're Starting With Texas

If you've been following the news, you know Texas teachers need a voice.

We are thrilled to officially launch HonestEd, the school rating platform designed to center the voices of teachers, staff, and families. Our mission is simple but urgent: to offer transparent, anonymous, and meaningful insight into what it’s really like to work and learn at schools across the country.

And we’re kicking things off deep in the heart of Texas.


Why Texas First?

Given the constant stream of shocking headlines coming out of Texas—whether it's new mandates or pressures placed on educators—we felt compelled to begin where the need for honest, community-driven insight is more critical than ever.

Texas educators, families, and staff deserve a voice. And HonestEd is here to amplify it.

That’s why we’ve decided to launch with every district in Texas, adding them alphabetically by county so you can start rating right away. Want to see if your district has been added yet? Check back daily—we’re uploading fast and furious. 


Also Coming Soon: Two of the Nation’s Largest Districts

We’re not stopping at Texas. We're hard at work preparing to launch two of the largest school districts in the United States—because real change requires a wide lens, and these communities play a pivotal role in shaping the national education landscape.

Stay tuned. Big things are happening.


Because Test Scores Don’t Tell the Whole Story

Let’s face it—school report cards and star ratings are shallow metrics. They rarely capture the things that matter most to those on the ground: support for special education, administrative transparency, teacher autonomy, mental health resources, leadership style, and so much more.

HonestEd gives parents and educators a space to rate what actually matters—anonymously, thoughtfully, and without noise or bias.

We believe that when teachers thrive, students thrive. So we built a platform to help make that happen.


Be Heard. Find Your Fit.

Whether you’re a teacher looking for a school that aligns with your values or a parent searching for an environment where your child will be understood, HonestEd helps you find the best fit—not the “best” school.

Because there are no bad schools. Just better matches for different people.

Welcome to HonestEd. Your voice. Your choice.
