Met Standard: Met performance index targets on all indexes for which they have performance data in Improvement Required: Did not meet one or more performance index targets.

To receive a Met Standard Rating all campuses and districts must meet the following accountability targets for: Index 1 OR Index 2 AND Index 3 AND Index 4 TargetsDistricts and Campuses Index 1: Student Achievement60 Index 2: Student Progress30 – Elem 28 – MS/JH 15 – HS 20 District Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps 28 – Elem 27 – MS/JH 31 – HS 28 – District Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness12 – Elem 13 – MS/JH 57 – HS & District

The following snapshot table applies for accountability purposes:

2015 = Final Year (1.0 SD below Final Standard)

2015

Snapshot of performance across subjects, on both general and alternative assessments, at the satisfactory performance standard (Phase- in I Level II for 2015). Subjects: Combined over Reading/ELA, Mathematics (Algebra I only), Writing, Science and Social Studies. Student Groups: All Students only

Performance Standards: Phase-in I Level II (Satisfactory), meets or exceeds the ELL Progress Measure, or meets equivalency standard on Substitute Assessment STAAR Grades 3-8 English and Spanish (3-5) Spring 2015 (STAAR & STAAR L) EOC Assessments (best results: highest score) Spring 2015, Fall 2014, and Summer July 2014 (STAAR & STAAR L)

Measures student progress by subject and provides opportunity to receive credit for improving student performance independent of overall student achievement. Subjects: Reading, Writing (NEW) and Mathematics (Algebra I only) Ten Student Groups Evaluated: All Students Students served by Special Education English Language Learners (ELL) – Progress measure is used Seven Racial/Ethnic Groups: African American, American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, White, and Two or More Races

Three Progress Indicators: Did Not Meet Growth Progress Met Growth Progress Exceeded Growth Progress Points for progress in each subject are weighted: One point credit for each percentage of tests that Met or Exceeded progress One additional point for each percentage of tests that Exceeded progress

Subject Area: Reading, Mathematics (Algebra I only), Writing, Science and Social Studies Student Groups: Economically Disadvantaged Lowest Performing Race/Ethnicity: Two lowest performing race/ethnicity student groups on the campus or district (based on 2014 assessment results)

Points based on weighted performance: One point for each percentage of tests meeting the phase-in satisfactory performance standard or above on the STAAR assessment One additional point is given for each percentage of tests meeting the advanced performance standard on the STAAR assessment.

Emphasizes the role of elementary and middle schools in preparing students for the rigors of high school, and the importance of earning a high school diploma that provides students with the foundation necessary for success in college, the workforce, job training, or the military.

***Elementary & middle schools report only on STAAR results***

STAAR Postsecondary Readiness Standard: Percentage of students with STAAR test results at or above the final Level II performance standard on two or more subject area tests. 8 Student Groups: All & 7 Racial/Ethnic Groups

Graduation Rate Score: Reflects the highest number of points possible from the combined performance across graduation rates for grades (4-yr or 5-yr Grad Rate – Class of 2014 or Class of 2013) 10 Student Groups: All, SPED, ELL & 7 Racial/Ethnic Groups

Graduation Plan Score: Based on an a longitudinal cohort of students graduating under the Recommended High School Program or Distinguished Achievement Program (RHSP/DAP). (Class of 2014) 8 Student Groups: All & 7 Racial/Ethnic Groups

Postsecondary Component: College and Career Readiness College-ready graduate meeting or exceeding the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) criteria in both reading/English language arts(ELA) and mathematics on the TAKS Exit-level test, SAT, or ACT Test. (Class of 2014) Completed and earned credit in at least two advanced/dual credit enrollment courses Enrolled in a CTE-Coherent Sequence of Courses 8 Student Groups: All and 7 Racial/Ethnic Groups

2015

With the performance index framework, poor performance in one subject or one student group does not result in an Improvement Required Rating. System safeguards are added to ensure that poor performance in one area or one student group is not masked in the performance index.
