The 2023-24 CAF was released Thursday, August 8th

The Consolidated Accountability Data File (CAF) was provided in a fixed length text file format with the layout defined in the CAF File Format.

The Final 2024 CCMR Student Listing is now available

The Final 2024 CCMR Student Listing is now available within TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. These data downloads contain the 2024 CCMR data for 2022–23 annual graduates and 2022–23 non-graduating 12th graders, including applicable corrections submitted and approved through the 2024 CCMR Verifier. The data will be used to calculate the CCMR components for 2024 accountability ratings.

2024 Accountability Ratings will be published on Tuesday, August 13th

The 2024 results will be available on August 13 in the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application for districts to preview before public release on August 15. This includes the 2024 Ratings Reports and Data Tables, Data Downloads, and Student Listings.

2024 Appeals Window will open on Tuesday, August 13

The appeals process allows school districts or open-enrollment charter schools to challenge an agency decision relating to an academic rating that affects the district or school. This process provides school districts an opportunity to present evidence and request a review of their ratings if they believe errors or extenuating circumstances may have impacted the assigned grade as outlined in Chapter 8 of the 2024 Accountability Manual. The appeals window closes end-of-day on September 12^th. Additional information regarding instructions for submitting appeals will be available within TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application.

The record also includes data for the student for any state assessments within the previous accountability year. Records for which a student cannot be assigned a Texas Student Data System (TSDS) ID are not combined with data from another reporting administration. Conflicting data for a grade 3–8 subject, end-of-course (EOC), TELPAS, or TELPAS Alternate assessment within a reporting administration are not combined with other testing data for a student.

Annual System Rollover

As a reminder, systems for the Texas Assessment Program including the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE), the Centralized Reporting System (CRS), and the Test Delivery System (TDS) will be offline from 7:00 p.m. (CT) August 16 through 1:00 a.m. (CT) August 26, 2024, to complete a system rollover.
