Accountability Rating Labels 2 Accountability Rating (Campuses and Districts) Met Standard Met Alternative Standard* (assigned to charter operators and alternative education campuses (AECs) evaluated under alternative education accountability (AEA) provisions) Improvement Required *AECs evaluated under AEA provisions are not eligible for distinction designations, per Texas Education Code (TEC) § 39. 201. Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

Distinction Designations 3 Campuses that receive an accountability rating of Met Standard are eligible for the following distinction designations. 2014 2013 § Academic Achievement in: § Reading/English Language Arts (ELA) § Reading/ELA § Mathematics § Science § Social Studies § Index 2: Student Progress – Top 25% § Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps § Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness for campuses and districts Shaded areas are new for 2014 Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting

Academic Achievement Distinction Designation 4 2013 Academic Achievement - Reading/ELA and mathematics § Campuses with grades 3 -12 enrollment that achieve a Met Standard rating are eligible to receive academic achievement distinction designation (AADD). § Campuses are evaluated solely on the “All Students” student group. § Elementary and middle schools in the top quartile on at least 50 percent of the above indicators receive a distinction designation for that subject area. § High schools in the top quartile on at least 33 percent of the above indicators receive a distinction designation for that subject area.

Methodology for AADD – Step 1 7 Mathematics Example: Pflugerville HS 1. Identify a campus comparison group for Pflugerville High School based on: a. Campus type (elementary, middle, high school); b. Campus size (total student enrollment); c. Percent of economically disadvantaged students enrolled for 2012 -13; d. Percent of limited English proficient students enrolled for 2012 -13; and e. Percent of mobile students, as determined from 2011 -12 cumulative attendance.

Blank values for a Quartile occur if there are less than 20 campuses in the campus comparison group for each qualifying indicator. The Attendance Rate Indicator is not subject specific; therefore, it applies to both Reading/ELA and Mathematics. Consequently, this indicator cannot be the sole measure used by a campus to attain a distinction. Texas Education Agency | Office of Assessment and Accountability | Division of Performance Reporting
