2017 Target Score for this index:
Student achievement data is collected and measured across district and campus. The total index points or Index Score, is calculated from the scored STAAR results. The total number of exams which met approaches grade level or above, met standard or pass the EOC. These scores are calculated for each exam given, each campus is then give an overall percentage of students who met approaches grade level. The percentage provided is also equivalent to the index points. At the high school level index, one measures; Reading, writing, math, science and social studies.
Index 2: Purpose: The purpose of index two measures student progress. Data collection from index two allows progress and growth of the student, campus and district to be measured and compared year to year. This information also allows a campus and or district to see where their areas of strength or improvement are needed.
2017 Target Score for this index:
Measuring student progress is done through categories; “race/ethnicity, current and monitored ELLs, and special education (Tea.texas.gov, 2018).” After scores have been calculated, they are organized by category and delivered to each district. The data collected is a summary of the scores done by met standard, did not meet or exceeded. If any scores are fractions, these numbers are rounded. The total scores are summarized together to give each campus a total overall score between 0 to 200 which is then divided by the index of 2, totaling score between 0 to 100.
Index 3: Purpose: The main purpose of index three is observing and measuring performance gaps. Performance gaps are those within campuses and district with economically disadvantaged students and low academic achievement. The data collected with index three will also emphasizes the “two lowest-performing racial/ethnic student groups (Tea.texas.gov, 2018).”
2017 Target Score for this index:
Closing performance gaps for index three is data collected for each academic achievement for economically disadvantages students and the two lowest racial and or ethnic groups for each campus. Data collected from reading, math, writing, science and social studies is complied. A point is given for each score above approaches grade level and above. The total sum index is given by dividing the total overall performance by the max number of points allowed for index three, range from 0 to 100.
Index 4: Purpose: Index four focuses on postsecondary readiness of students, district and campus wide. Postsecondary readiness, is primary focusing on high school students, earning their high school diploma. This index also collects information on student readiness and proper “foundation necessary for success in college, job training programs, the workforce, or the military (Tea.texas.gov, 2018).”
2017 Target Score for this index:
If a campus receives an accountability score of “met standard” they are able to earn an additional distinction based on their rating. These distinctions can range from the following Academic Achievement:
• ELA/Reading Academic Achievement
• Mathematics Academic Achievement
• Science Academic Achievement: Social Studies Top 25%
• Student Progress
• Top 25%: Closing Performance Gaps Postsecondary Readiness (Tea.texas.gov, 2018)
These rating are given to both districts and campuses, which earn Met Standards. Postsecondary readiness begins during the early elementary years and carries throughout four years of high school. The four components of index four; met grade level standard for STAAR, graduation rate, Diploma Rate, college and career readiness are weighted by 25% each, totaling score of 100%. College and Career readiness, Graduation plan and Graduation rate are broken down by race and ethnic make-up of student body.

NOTE: Texas Accountability Intervention System- All LEAs staged for Performance Based Monitoring (PBM) interventions must engage in the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS). The TAIS is supported by multiple research‐based resources and documents that guide districts and campuses through school improvement. As the state transitions to a more aligned accountability system, the focus shifts to a more integrated process for continuous, sustained improvement. The following districts and campuses will engage in TAIS Interventions:
• Districts and campuses rated Improvement Required (IR) due to low performance on one or more of the four indices of the performance index framework
• Districts and campuses who miss one or more System Safeguard targets
• Districts staged for interventions in the Performance‐Based Monitoring (PBM) system, which includes multiple and single program areas staged for interventions
The level of support a district or campus receives will be determined by:
• the current and longitudinal accountability ratings
• the current and longitudinal history of the PBM stage of intervention
• the system with the highest level of intervention
What is your campus’s Accountability Rating?: (i.e., Met Standard, Improvement Required, or Not Rated.) Note: (To receive a Met Standard or Met Alternative Standard rating, campuses and districts must meet or exceed the target score on all indexes for which they have performance data).
Met Standard
Did your campus receive a rating of Improvement Required due to low performance? If so, your campus must engage in the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS) which is part of Performance Based Monitoring (PBM).
no
If so, what area(s) are the cause of this rating?
List the areas on which your campus Met Standards and Did Not Meet Standards (listed on the report):
Student Achievement- met Standard
Student Progress- Met Standard
Closing Performance gaps- Met Standard
Postsecondary Readiness- Met Standard
Performance Index Report- Read 2017 Accountability Manual chapter 3 (pages 17-25) for explanations of how points are earned and calculated for each index.
The bar graph on the Accountability Summary Report illustrates your campus performance on each index compared to the target for each index. Review this information.
Next, review the Index Calculations and Data Table Reports (Indices 1 thru 4) that you printed. Explain the information in each by responding to the following questions for each index:
a. List your campus score on each index.
b. Index1: 80
c. Index 2: 32
d. Index3: 50
e. Index 4:83
f. Did you meet the target score for each index?
g. Yes , target score,1:60, 2:17, 3:30, 4:60
h. Then, using the information in the Index Calculations and Data Table Reports (Indices 1 thru4), explain in more detail how students performed on each index.
(Example: Index 1-student achievement: The Campus score is 62 and the Target score is 60; therefore, my campus exceeded the target for index 1. In reviewing the Index 1 Calculations and Data Table Report, I see that 103 out of 175 students met the Phase-in Satisfactory Standard in Reading, etc.,.…)
Index 1 -Student Achievement : Index one total points earned 3,236 max points 4,042 with an index score of 80. My campus was able to score 80 with a target score of 60.
Index 2 -Student Progress: Points earned was 450, max points 1400 with an index score of 32. With an index score of 32 my campus was able to perform above the target score of 17.
Index 3 -Closing Performance Gaps: Points earned 1,202, max point of 2,400 with an index score of 50. With an index score of 50, my campus was able to perform above the target score of 30.
Index 4 -Postsecondary Readiness: Post readiness scores from STAAR Score 17.8, Graduation Rate Score 24.2, Graduations Plan score of 18.8 and Postsecondary Component Score of 22.4 totaling and index score of 83. My campus index score of 83 was able to perform about the target score of 60.
Campus Comparison Group- Review Chapter 5 (pg’s 55-65) and Appendix H (pg’s. 117-120) of the 2017 Accountability Manual prior to respond to the following:
http://tea.texas.gov/2017accountabilitymanual.aspx
1. What is the makeup of a campus comparison group?
Each campus is made up of comparisons of a give type of district, which are similar to their district makeup. The district makeup is determined by the size of campus, student size, percentage of economically disadvantaged, ELL, Special education services and mobility rate.
2. How is a campus’s comparison group used in determining a campus distinction designation?
Each campus earns distinction designations from the 33 percentiles for school high schools 9-12. There are indicators which allow for distinctions, high school, fewer than 20 campuses data indicator, evaluations and non-traditional school campuses.
3. Did your campus earn any Distinction Designations? If so, list them.
