School Improvement Identification (CSI / TSI / ATS)

📍 Report Location

Accountability > A-F < School Improvement Identification (CSI / TSI / ATS)

📝 Summary

The School Improvement Identification (CSI / TSI / ATS) report provides a comprehensive view of a campus’s federal school improvement status as defined by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

The report displays Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI), and Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATS) calculations, allowing users to identify which student groups and accountability components contributed to a campus’s identification.

By displaying component scores, federal weights, and historical performance, districts can quickly determine where improvement efforts should be focused.

🎯 Usage

This report is useful for:

• Monitoring CSI, TSI, and ATS identification status
• Reviewing federal accountability performance by student group
• Identifying accountability components contributing to identification
• Supporting Campus Improvement Plans (CIP)
• Monitoring progress toward exiting school improvement status
• Preparing for federal accountability reviews and monitoring
• Prioritizing interventions for student groups needing additional support

⚠️ Special Notes

• A campus may receive multiple federal identification types.
• Student groups are evaluated independently for TSI and ATS.
• Component weights vary by campus type (Elementary, Middle School, High School).
• High School campuses include Federal Graduation Status as part of the federal accountability calculation.
• Federal School Improvement identification is separate from Texas A–F accountability ratings.
• The highlighted values represent the current accountability year used in the federal calculations.

📖 Definitions

CSI (Comprehensive Support and Improvement)

Campuses identified for comprehensive intervention based on federal accountability requirements.

TSI (Targeted Support and Improvement)

Identification assigned when one or more student groups perform at or below established federal accountability thresholds.

ATS (Additional Targeted Support and Improvement)

Assigned when a student group’s performance is at or below the level that would identify the campus for CSI.

Component Points

The accountability points earned for an individual federal accountability component.

Possible Points

The maximum points available for that accountability component.

Component Percentage

The percentage of points earned compared to possible points.

Component Weight

The percentage assigned by TEA that determines how much each accountability component contributes toward the overall federal score.

---

🧮 Calculations

Component Percentage

Component Percentage =
Component Points Earned ÷ Possible Component Points

Example:

62.5%

---

Weighted Component Score

Weighted Points =
Component Percentage × Component Weight

Example

Academic Achievement (RLA)

62.5% × 55.6%

= 34.8 points

Federal Graduation Status

75% × 11.1%

= 8.3 points

The weighted component scores are summed to determine the campus’s overall federal accountability performance.

💡 How to Interpret the Report

In the example shown:

• Academic Achievement (RLA) earned 62.5% of the available points.
• Because RLA carries a 55.6% High School weight, it contributes 34.8 weighted points toward the campus’s federal accountability score.
• Federal Graduation Status earned 75% of available points and contributes 8.3 weighted points using its 11.1% weight.
• The black-highlighted cells identify the accountability year currently being evaluated.
• Comparing component percentages and weighted points helps determine which accountability areas contributed most to the campus’s TSI or ATS identification and where improvement efforts should be focused.
