What is the Severity Risk Index (SRI)?

The Severity Risk Index (SRI) is a compliance-based score derived from official Texas state inspection data. Lower scores indicate fewer and/or less severe deficiencies over time. Higher scores indicate more frequent and/or more severe deficiencies, and may also reflect enforcement status when corrective or adverse actions are present.

Tier guide: Best: SRI < 1.25  |  Watchlist: 1.25–1.49  |  Needs Improvement: ≥ 1.50  |  High Risk: ≥ 2.00

Needs Improvement Tier: Centers with SRI ≥ 1.50 fall into the Needs Improvement tier. This designation is not based on parent reviews—only official inspection records.

This enforcement flag may apply to centers at any SRI level. For detailed inspection histories, visit the Texas Child Care Search portal.
