STAAR 3-8 Academic Performance to Attendance Comparison

Report Locations:

  • Assessment>STAAR Grades 3-8>STAAR 3-8 Custom Reports>STAAR 3-8 & PEIMS
  • Student>Student Custom Reports>STAAR & PEIMS

Summary: This report displays 3 years of longitudinal attendance data along with STAAR 3-8 achievement levels for all subjects with breakdowns by gender, ethnicity, and special programs (at risk, special education, economic disadvantage, emergent bilingual).

Usage: Use this report to analyze comparisons between STAAR achievement levels and chronically versus not chronically absent students. Chronically absent is defined as having a percentage in attendance (PIA) < 90.0%.

Special Notes:

  • Counts are based on students having a STAAR 3-8 achievement level in the appropriate subject
  • Both STAAR 3-8 and PEIMS Summer Attendance files must be loaded in order for counts to display

Data Source(s):

  • STAAR 3-8
    • Math
    • Reading
    • Social Studies
    • Science
  • PEIMS Summer
    • Interchange Student Attendance
      • 42400 – Basic Attendance

Definitions:

  • Base file is STAAR 3-8 students
  • # Students PIA < 90% (Chronics) = Count of students with a percentage in attendance < 90.0%
  • # Students PIA >= 90% (Not Chronics) = Count of students with a percentage in attendance >= 90.0%
  • Gender, Ethnicity, and Special Program breakout columns are based on STAAR results
  • Does not include SIRS files
  • Only includes results with a Score Code = S

Calculations:

  • STAAR 3-8 by Achievement Level
    • (# Chronically Absent Students / # Students PIA < 90%) * 100 in each achievement level
    • (# Not Chronically Absent Students / # Students PIA >= 90%) * 100 in each achievement level
    • Note: Retesters count in highest level achieved
    • Note: Drill down on Chronically Absent or Not Chronically Absent percentages to see number of students in each category
