Final Accelerated Testers Listing Now Available

The Final 2024 Accelerated Testers Student Listing and explanatory materials are now available in the TEA Login (TEAL) application. Please note that the data in these reports are confidential. 

Accelerated testers are defined as students who earn Approaches Grade Level or above standard on the Algebra I, English II, and/or Biology STAAR EOC prior to grade 9. For 2024 accountability, accelerated testers are also students who earned course credit for Algebra I, English II, and/or Biology in Spring or Summer 2020, and were granted a COVID testing waiver prior to grade 9. To fulfill federal testing requirements, these students must take a corresponding subject area SAT or ACT while in high school.

The students included in the final listing will be evaluated as accelerated testers for 2024 accountability reports. Chapter 2 of the 2024 Accountability Manual provides information on accelerated testers.

A TSA notification was delivered today April 5, 2024, to inform districts of the Final Accelerated Testers Listing and supporting documents are now available in TEAL.

Additional information on the inclusion of SAT/ ACT results methodology for accelerated testers is available on the Performance Reporting Resources page.

Coming Soon: College, Career, or Military Readiness Outcomes Bonus (CCMR OB) New Early Counts File

The publication of a new Early Counts file for the Class of 2022 CCMR OB has been developed based on stakeholder feedback. Next week, an Early Counts CCMR OB Student Listing will be released to districts in the TEA Login (TEAL) application, followed by a public release of an Early Counts CCMR OB Counts by District file on the Performance Reporting Resources webpage.

Under House Bill 3 (HB 3), 86th Legislature, 2019, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) annually awards districts CCMR OB funding. Funding is awarded based on the number of annual graduates who demonstrate college, career, or military readiness in excess of a threshold for three cohorts: annual graduates who are economically disadvantaged; annual graduates who are not educationally disadvantaged; and annual graduates who are enrolled in a special education program.

TEA has started calculating new “Early Counts” for CCMR OB. Early counts are based on actual data for the graduating class. Early counts include all data necessary for final CCMR OB except data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) for postsecondary enrollment.

TEA will publish an Early CCMR OB Counts by District 2022 Graduates file on the Performance Reporting Resources webpage. Once data from THECB are received and processed, a Final CCMR OB Counts by District 2022 Graduates file will be published in the next few months.
