2013 Texas Accountability
System
Features of the System
• No single indicator can lower a rating
• Focuses on overall campus/district performance rather than the weakest performance of one student group/subject area
• Rewards excellence based on other indicators in addition to state assessment results
• Includes Postsecondary Readiness and Student Progress
• Emphasis on Closing Achievement Gaps
Performance Index Criteria
• 2013 Rating Labels:
– Met Standard – met all performance index targets
– Met Alternative Standard – met all modified performance index targets for alternative education campuses and districts
– Improvement Required – did not meet one or more performance index targets
• 2013 Transition Year: The 2013 ratings criteria and targets will stand alone because the performance index framework cannot be fully implemented in 2013.
Who: The “All Student”
group only
What: Satisfactory
performance on Level II
Who: All 10 Student
Groups
What: Progress to Satisfactory
or Advanced Level in Reading and Math and
Writing (EOC only)
Who: Eco Dis and lowest two performing
groups from previous year
What: Credit for each percentage at
Satisfactory or Advanced (double)
Who: Eight student
groups
What: Combination of:
1) Advanced performance level and 2) Graduation
rates with Diploma Plans
• To receive a Met Standard rating, all campuses and districts must meet the following accountability targets on all indexes for which they have performance data in 2013.
Performance Index TargetsNon-AEA
Campuses and Districts
AEA Campuses and Districts
Index 1: Student Achievement 50 25
Index 2: Student Progress 5th percentile* 5th percentile*
Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps 55 30
Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness 75 45
* Target will be set at about the fifth percentile of campus performance and will be applied to both campuses and districts.

Sample Campus Outcomes
AEA
• Eligibility Criteria– Ten former eligibility criteria– AEC of choice must primarily serve secondary students in Grades 6-12– Residential facilities not evaluated in 2013
• Modified Indicator Definitions and Index Construction– Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness
• Graduation Rate– Credit for GED recipients– Four-year, five-year, and six-year rates
• Bonus Points for RHSP/DAP graduates• Bonus Points for Recovered Dropouts who Graduate or Earn GED• Bonus Points for Continuing Students who Graduate or Earn GED• Graduation and GED Rates = 75%, Final STAAR Level II Rates = 25%
Disaggregated performance rates based on the target for student achievement in Index 1
Participation, graduation rates, and limits on use of STAAR Alternate and STAAR Modified are calculated to meet
federal requirements.
•Results reported for any cell that meets minimum size requirements
•If a campus or district does not meet the safeguard target on any measure, this must be incorporated into the Campus and/or District Improvement Plan(s) and the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS).
•These missed measures will not automatically result in an unsatisfactory accountability rating
