Student Performance Data
- State Accountability 2023 Report
- District and campus state accountability ratings based on state formulas within three domains, including state assessment, student growth, student group performance in relation to established targets, CCMR, and graduation. The performance data (STAAR, STAAR Alt 2, TELPAS, etc) includes only students who were enrolled on Snapshot day in late October and also took the state assessment in the same campus and/or district.
- If a student was enrolled on campus A in October but moved and tested at campus B in the spring, the student’s results would not contribute to either campus performance, but would count toward the district performance.

House Bill 4545 Requirements
The 87th legislative session eliminated the Student Success Initiative (SSI) for students in 5th and 8th grade; however, the SSI was replaced with requirements enacted with HB 4545 as shared below:
- Students who do not meet the passing standard on a STAAR assessment, or students who do not take an applicable STAAR assessment, are subject to accelerated instruction requirements as outlined in HB 4545. This includes grades 3–8 and STAAR End of Course assessments. Students will only take the STAAR assessment one time within the designated testing window.
- Per legislation, 30 hours of accelerated instruction must be provided for each STAAR assessment not passed or not taken. This may be completed during the school day or before/after school, depending on the campus schedule.
