State Accountability RatingsFederal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

Districts and campuses are rated based on: TAKS “Met Standard” rates (including all TAKS-

Accommodated, TAKS-Modified, and TAKS-Alternate scores)

TAKS “Commended” rates for Reading/ELA and Math (“All Students” and “Economically Disadvantaged Students” only)

English Language Learners (ELL) Progress Measure Completion Rate I (districts and high schools) Grade 7 – 8 Annual Dropout Rate (districts and middle

schools)

Alternative Education programs are rated based on: TAKS Progress Indicator (single measure) ELL Progress Measure Annual Dropout Rate (Grades 7-12) Completion Rate II

The possible ratings are: AEA: Academically Acceptable AEA: Academically Unacceptable

Our SUCCESS Program is AEA: Academically Acceptable 24

AYP Ratings are based on 7 student groups: Performance on reading and math tests (all test

versions) Participation in reading and math assessments (95%) Graduation Rate (75%) Attendance Rate (90%)

Performance standards increased this year: Reading/ELA – from 73% to 80% Math – from 67% to 75% TPM was eliminated for AYP purposes this year

STAAR includes Grades 3 – 8 subject area tests 12 End of Course (EOC) exams

More rigorous than TAKS

This year’s 9th graders will be the first class of students graduating under EOC’s

Standards for EOC will be set in February 2012 and performance reports will be available in June 2012 after first May administration

Standards for STAAR grades 3 – 8 will not be set until fall 2012, after first spring administration Only one administration of reading and math at

grades 5 and 8 since no passing standards established

Performance reports for grades 3 – 8 delayed until fall 2012

Level III: Advanced Academic Performance Students are well prepared for next grade or course.

For Algebra II and ELA III, this level will indicate college readiness

Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance Students are sufficiently prepared for next grade or

course.Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic

Performance Students are not adequately prepared for next grade or

course.

Beginning with Spring 2012 test administration, there will be a 4-hour time limit for both STAAR EOC and STAAR grades 3 – 8 assessments Will allow special requests for extended time

There will be make-up opportunities for all grades and subjects, not just those used for AYP

Dyslexia accommodations will be expanded to high school students

Linguistic accommodations will be available for most STAAR assessments, not just those used for AYP LAT results will be used for state

accountability ratingsTEA has indicated that there will be a

testing “window” for both STAAR 3 – 8 and STAAR EOCs (except for ELA and writing) as opposed to specific tests on specific days

Back-graded 9th graders in 2011-12 will be graduating under TAKS, but no 9th grade TAKS test will be available Repeat 9th graders cannot take EOCs These students are likely to go three years

with no assessment until the exit-level TAKSNo longer a separate “Accommodated”

form “Accommodations” built into single test

form

TEA will intensify test security/data integrity monitoring

Increased demands on resources: Professional development Accelerated instruction required Test administration and oversight increases (more tests and

retests) Materials management burden increases Complexity in tracking graduation requirements increases Integration of 15% grade requirement More calculators and dictionaries required for STAAR/EOC

2011 and 2013 will be considered “consecutive” ratings years for state ratings

AYP ratings will NOT be suspended in 2012! (Reading/ELA: 87%, Math: 83%)

Several coordinated efforts will be starting soon to develop: New state accountability rating system New federal AYP system New state distinction designations New PBMAS system New state accountability reports (no longer

AEIS?) Possibly new alternative ed accountability

procedures

Focus shifts from minimum standards to standards based on postsecondary readiness

Ensure Texas is among top 10 states in postsecondary readiness and students graduating under RHSP/DAP plans by 2020

“Recognized” and “Exemplary” distinction ratings are based on student performance on college readiness standards rather than higher percentages of students performing at the satisfactory level

Campus distinctions are based on student progress and closing achievement gaps

Campuses also have the ability to earn distinctions on broader indicators of excellence beyond just state assessments

Reports provide detailed academic and financial information that is relevant, meaningful, and easily accessible to the public

State and federal accountability requirements are aligned to the greatest extent possible
