In addition to the accountability results based on learner assessment data, every Texas school district under the requirements of House Bill 5 was required beginning in the 2013-2014 school year, to evaluate each campus and the district as a whole on nine factors and assign ratings of Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable, or Unacceptable in each of those factors based on district developed rubrics. These factors and rating comprise the Community and Student Engagement Accountability System (CSEAS). 

These ratings allow each district and campus the opportunity to showcase the broad spectrum of services, supports, and activities available to learners and the community as a whole and begin the process of widening the accountability measures beyond standardized assessments.

The Texas School Accountability Dashboard was mandated by the 83rd Texas Legislature in 2013. The Dashboard provides the public with quick and easy access to state, district, and campus accountability information. Each November, the Texas Education Agency updates the Dashboard to reflect the accountability results and demographics for the prior school year.

TEC 39.306 requires districts to annually publish a report regarding the educational performance of the district and campuses. The report includes:

The Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS) is the most comprehensive state academic accountability report published by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The TPRS combines information previously released in the state accountability reports, the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), and the School Report Card (SRC). It also includes results for student groups not previously reported on the previously noted reports. Most data are available at the campus, district, region, and state level. The TPRS provides performance and participation assessment results for the following student groups:

• Economically Disadvantaged/Non-Economically Disadvantaged
• Male/Female
• Special Education/Non-Special Education
• At Risk/Non-At Risk
• Migrant/Non-Migrant
• English Language Learners (ELLs)
• Career and Technical Education (CTE)/Non-CTE
• Bilingual Education/English as a Second Language

 Part I: Percent Tested and Student Achievement by Proficiency Level - Provides the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) performance and participation results for each subject area and grade level tested. Participation reports also include reports of the participation of Children with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) by assessment type.

 Part II:  Student Achievement and State Academic Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) - Provides the AMO outcomes and data table of STAAR performance results for each subject area tested in the accountability subset.

 Part III:  Priority and Focus Schools - Provides information on priority schools and focus schools. Priority schools are the lowest 5% of Title I-served campuses based on performance in reading and mathematics and graduation rates. Focus schools are 10% of Title I served campuses, not already identified as priority schools, that have the widest gaps between student group performance and safeguard targets.

 Part IV:Teacher Quality Data - Provides information on teacher quality in three parts:

 Part A – Percent of Teachers by Highest Degree Held – Professional qualifications of all public elementary and secondary teachers in the Texas

Comparable Improvement reports were part of the AEIS reports and can be found within the appropriate year for the AEIS report, going back to the 1995-96 school year. Note that there are no Comparable Improvement reports for 2002-03, 2003-04, or 2011-present. (To view reports, select the AEIS year and then select Comparable Improvement.)

Section 1111(h)(2) of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires each local education agency (LEA) that receives Title I, Part A funding to disseminate specific LEA- and campus-level data to 1) all LEA campuses, 2) parents of all enrolled students, and 3) to make the information widely available through public means such as posting on the internet, distribution to the media, or distribution through public agencies.

To meet this requirement the Texas Education Agency (TEA) provides these statistics at the state level and for each district or campus that is required. CLICK HERE to view Texas NCLB Report Card.
