| Required Improvement |
| |
| Campuses may achieve a higher annual accountability rating by meeting the various Required Improvement standards specified in the Texas Education Agency 2010 Accountability Manual. Meeting the applicable Required Improvement standards on the TAKS and Completion Rate indicators can result in the campus or district rating being raised to the next highest level for which it would otherwise qualify, except it cannot cause a campus rating to be raised from recognized to exemplary. Meeting the applicable Required Improvement standards on the Annual Dropout Rate indicator can result in the campus or district rating being raised to next highest rating for which it would otherwise qualify, including from recognized to exemplary. |
| Texas Projection Measure |
| |
| The Texas Projection Measure is an estimate of whether a student is likely to pass a TAKS test in a future grade. This measure, which has proven to be more than a little controversial, allows some students who fail the TAKS to be counted as having passed, provided the TEA developed formula predicts they will pass a future test. The Texas Projection Measure is applicable to all TAKS subjects tested. After Required Improvement standard has been applied, the Texas Projection Measure improvement standard is applied to determine if a district or campus will be awarded a higher rating, including a rating being increased from recognized to exemplary. |
| Exceptions Provision |
| |
| The Exceptions Provision provides yet another way that larger campuses and districts with more diverse students populations can increase the accountability rating they otherwise would be awarded by one level. The Exceptions Provision can only be applied to TAKS indicator. The number of exemptions that will be granted are dependent on the number of student groups in the student population and the campus or district must meet the appropriate performance floors in order for an exception to be applicable. After Texas Projection Measure rating improvement standard has been applied, Exception Provision improvement standard is applied to determine if a district or campus will be awarded a higher rating, including a rating being raised from recognized to exemplary. |
