Assessment & Accountability is a comprehensive resource that tracks the performance of Texas schools. It provides insights into key metrics like student achievement, academic growth, and graduation rates, helping educators and policymakers make informed decisions to improve educational outcomes.
Overview
Assessment & Accountability is a comprehensive resource that provides insights into how Texas schools are performing. The webpage covers a range of topics, including school report cards, which offer a quick snapshot of school performance, and District & Campus Accountability Ratings, which provide an overall assessment of school districts and individual campuses. The page also explores the state’s Early Childhood/CCMR Goals, designed to ensure students are prepared for academic and career success. Texas Academic Performance Reports are a valuable tool that provides data on student demographics, achievement, and graduation rates. Also included is information on Federal Standards, which guide the evaluation of school performance, and the Highly Qualified Teacher Survey, which tracks the qualifications of educators in Texas. By providing access to this information, Assessment & Accountability empowers parents, educators, and policymakers to make informed decisions about education in Texas.

English:
Upon reviewing the federal report card for the ECC-Elementary, we observed an elevated incidence of ‘threats of physical attack without a weapon’ compared to the typical frequency. Following an investigation, it was discovered that a local discipline code pertaining to minor threats had been inadvertently included and reported on the federal report card. It is important to note that these minor codes are utilized to document and enhance student behaviors in the lower grades. Therefore, we want to emphasize that the number indicated on the report card does not accurately reflect significant threats of violence.
Spanish:
Al revisar la boleta de calificaciones federal para el ECC-Elementary, observamos una incidencia elevada de “amenazas de ataque físico sin arma” en comparación con la frecuencia típica. Después de una investigación, se descubrió que un código disciplinario local relacionado con amenazas menores se había incluido inadvertidamente y se había informado en la boleta de calificaciones federal. Es importante tener en cuenta que estos códigos menores se utilizan para documentar y mejorar el comportamiento de los estudiantes en los grados inferiores. Por lo tanto, queremos enfatizar que el número indicado en la boleta de calificaciones no refleja con precisión las amenazas significativas de violencia.
The Federal Report Card includes information such as:
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.

School Report Cards
School report cards, which are required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency, are sent to the parent or guardian of every child enrolled in a Texas public school by local school districts. The report can be sent electronically, mailed, or home with the student.
School Report Cards are designed to inform parents and guardians about both a school’s characteristics and its achievements; the School Report Card combines parts of other recently released accountability reports to provide a variety of campus-level information concerning student and campus performance. The reports include the following:
- Accountability Rating
- Campus Distinction Designations
- Attendance Rates
- Enrollment Figures
- Dropout Rates
- Class Size Averages
- State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) Results
- ACT/SAT Results
- Per-Student Financial Expenditures
District & Campus Accountability Ratings
District & Campus Accountability Ratings are a system used by the Texas Education Agency to assess the overall performance of school districts and individual campuses based on various factors, including student achievement and progress. These ratings provide valuable information for parents and communities to evaluate the quality of education in their area.
Early Childhood / CCMR Goals
House Bill 3 (HB 3) amends Texas Education Code (TEC) to add Sec. 11.185 and 11.186 to include plans that target early childhood (EC) literacy and math proficiency and college, career, and military readiness (CCMR).
Plan Requirements:
Under HB 3, school boards are required to adopt plans in early childhood literacy and math, as well as college, career, and military readiness. All plans are required to include:
- at least one assigned district-level administrator or employee of the regional education service center for the district’s region to coordinate implementation and submit annual report to the board on the district’s progress;
- an annual review by the board at a public meeting;
- an annual report posted on district and campus websites; and
- specific, quantifiable, annual goals for five years at each campus.
Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR)
The Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) pull together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. Performance is shown dis-aggregated by student groups, including ethnicity and socioeconomic status. The reports also provide extensive information on school and district staff, programs, and student demographics.
Highly Qualified Teacher Survey
The State of Texas requires school districts to report the results of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) highly qualified status of their teachers. Below is detailed information on the NCLB Highly Qualified Teacher Survey:
