Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS): Advanced Match Pathways and Postsecondary Outcomes Visualization
We are excited to announce the release of two new reports to the Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS) webpage. In response to public feedback received during the 2023 A-F Accountability Refresh, a new Advanced Math Pathways report, and a new Postsecondary Outcomes Visualization report are available.
The Advanced Math Pathways report identifies students who were enrolled in an advanced middle school mathematics program, marked by the completion of the STAAR Algebra I End-of-Course (EOC) assessment before the end of eighth grade. These students demonstrated proficiency in fifth-grade mathematics, as evidenced by "Meets" or "Masters" performance ratings on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) Grade 5 Math Assessment. The report details participation rates in the Grade 8 Algebra I EOC across various student groups. It serves as a tool to aid in the development and implementation of Senate Bill (SB) 2124, 88th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2023, which establishes requirements related to the automatic enrollment of certain middle school students into an advanced mathematics program.
The Postsecondary Outcomes Visualization report monitors and assesses the trajectories of students following their graduation from high school or the completion of their postsecondary education. The data visualization comprises two datasets:
- Graduation Class (2008-2020)
- Outcomes for 1 to 6 years after graduation
The visualization encompasses all graduates, including those who are economically disadvantaged and those who are not. This report can be used to inform decisions regarding future programs and diverse research initiatives.

The DD Form 4 upload portal in TEAL is currently in development and is scheduled to be released during the first week of April. LEAs will be responsible for submitting a listing of former students who have enlisted in the military as well as a zip file that contains completed DD Form 4s for each enlistee.

2023 Discipline Data Validation Compliance Reviews
On Thursday, February 29, 2024, the notification To the Administrator Addressed (TAA) announced the 2023 Discipline Data Validation Compliance Reviews.
The 2023 Discipline Data Validation Manual outlined seven indicators. LEAs may retrieve a copy of their PBM 2023 Discipline Data Validation (DDV) report to determine if any 2023 indicators were triggered by logging into the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) portal to access the Accountability application.
The Data Reporting Compliance Unit (DRCU) made DDV compliance review forms available to LEAs for download from the Intervention, Stage, and Activity Manager (ISAM) application accessible through TEAL on March 5, 2024. LEAs will have a 2023 Discipline Data Reporting Compliance Review form to complete for each indicator triggered.
For questions about the reports, indicators, or their calculations, contact the PBM Unit at (512) 463-9704 or PBM@tea.texas.gov.
