lease note that the A-F Domain reports should only be considered preliminary at this time, as they are based on draft methodology from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that is still subject to change. Once the TEA releases the final accountability manual, we will conduct a thorough review and analysis to ensure our projections align.
The TEA acknowledged the need for additional analyses of Academic Growth cut scores and Domain III targets in a recent letter to administrators, which can be found here: Delay in 2023 A–F Academic Accountability Ratings Letter.
Given this, it is likely that the current calculations do not accurately reflect anticipated ratings. As such, we recommend using the A-F reports for a high-level perspective, but advise caution in drawing any concrete conclusions.
Domain 1 Student Achievement Summary and Detail Reports
STAAR Component Details
- Overview of assessment level totals for all subjects combined at the approaches, meets and masters levels.
- Achieved STAAR raw score, associated scaled score and calculated weighted point value.
CCMR Component Details
- Achieved CCMR raw score, associated scaled score, calculated weighted score, minimum size requirement, method used to achieve value.
- Method will be listed as ‘TEA’ only if TEA CCMR files have been uploaded into the file center
- Method will be listed as ‘ODS’ if values are derived from calculations using independently uploaded data files in lieu of CCMR files.
Discrepancy in ODS vs TEAL with supplemental file data
This discrepancy arises because the CCMR methodology includes only students who are in Grade 12 with a Graduation Status of 01. Our supplemental files cannot alter graduation status, resulting in some students being excluded from both the numerator and denominator. Therefore, it is essential that they upload their TEA data as the authoritative source, thereby superseding our metrics.
Graduation Rate Component Details
- Achieved Grad Rate raw score, associated scaled score, calculated weighted score, minimum size requirement, method used to achieve value.
- Method will be listed as ‘GRAD’ only if TEA 4,5 and 6 year longitudinal cohort files have been uploaded into the file center
- Method will show as blank and calculated annual dropout rate will be used in lieu of TEA 4,5 and 6 year supported data.
- The better rate of the last 3 years from TEA will be used
Final Scoring
- Domain scaled score determined by total weighted points to scale score conversion
- Performance rating reflective of state scale score to grade conversion
Domain 1 Detail Report
STAAR Component Details
- Breakdown by subject, number of assessments, not met, approaches or above, meets or above and masters or above
- Total percentage points achieved value
- Calculated achieved RAW score
CCMR Component Details
- Number of graduates without any CCMR Indicators
- Number of graduates who accomplished at least one of the CCMR indicators
- Number of annual graduates
- All CCMR results are calculated from independent raw data files uploaded into the file center UNTIL you upload your TEA CCMR file. After you have uploaded your CCMR file, all CCMR related calculations will be superseded by the state list values.
- Prior to uploading the state CCMR file, you will only see one box titled “(CCMR) College, Career, Military Ready From: ODS-Raw Data Files”
- After uploading the state CCMR file, you will see a secondary box titled “(CCMR) College, Career, Military Ready From: TEA”
Graduation Rate Component Details
- The better of available three year graduation or dropout rates will be displayed
- Number of graduates in the class
- Number of students in the class
- All student percentage
Total Student Achievement Domain Calculation
- Overall component STAAR, CCMR, Grad Rate display
- Weighted point values
- Calculated scale score value
- Calculated associated domain rating
