To the Superintendent Addressed:
This correspondence is to notify you that the Preliminary 2024 Accelerated Testers Student Listings and explanatory materials are now available in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. Please note that the data in these reports are confidential.
Accelerated testers are defined as students who earn Approaches Grade Level or above on the Algebra I, English II, and/or Biology STAAR EOC prior to grade 9. To fulfill federal testing requirements, these accelerated students must take a corresponding subject area SAT or ACT while in high school.
Students included on the listing were reported as enrolled in grade 11 on the 2022-23 PEIMS attendance files and have either:
1) taken an Algebra I, English II, and/or Biology EOC assessment prior to enrolling in grade 9 and earned Approaches Grade Level or above, or
2) earned course credit for Algebra I, English II, and/or Biology in Spring or Summer 2020 and were granted a COVID testing waiver.
Students are attributed to the district and campus at which they were reported in attendance for the final six weeks of SY 2022-23. The Preliminary 2024 Accelerated Testers Student Listings reflect which subject area the student is considered accelerated and if the student has a corresponding SAT or ACT on record. Results as of May 2023 (2022–23, 2021–22, and 2020–21 school years) are included.
The Final 2024 Accelerated Testers Student Listings will be released in Spring 2024 and will be updated to reflect accelerated testers reported by each district as enrolled in grade 12 for the 2023–24 PEIMS October Snapshot. The students included on the final listing will be evaluated as accelerated testers for 2024 accountability reports.
The 2024 accountability calculations will include results through May 2024, and the August 2024 STAAR student listings released in TEAL Accountability will include these additional results.
