Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS) Updated September 19, 2024 with 2023-2024 Data

TPRS integrates state and federal reporting requirements into a single reporting system that can be viewed at the campus, district, region, and state level. As the most comprehensive reporting system published by TEA, TPRS provides additional performance reports, results, and indicators for student groups not reported on state accountability data tables, the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), or the School Report Card.

Reports incorporating STAAR, CCMR, and Graduation data were updated with 2023-2024 data onSeptember 19th. Based on feedback to CCMR Outcomes Bonus (CCMR OB) reporting, this release also includes a brand-new report for CCMR OB, updated as of the Class of 2022 (the most recent cohort). Additional information about the CCMR OB Reports Updates was also released on September 19^th and can be found in the TAA: CCMR Outcomes Bonus Reports Updates

Additional rounds of TPRS releases are planned for Advanced Math Pathways in October followed by Postsecondary Outcomes in November, as well as TAPR and School Report Cards in December.

This release does not include the Campus or District 2024 Accountability Reports. The issuance of the A–F ratings under 2024 rule is pending and subject to change

PEIMS FAQ - What is the deadline for entering drop-out data in PEIMS?

According to PEIMS Leaver Data - Documentation Requirements for the PEIMS Leaver Data 2024-25 School Year , TEA uses the PEIMS Fall Submission to assist in determining whether students were officially identified as movers or leavers. During the PEIMS Fall Submission, leaver records must be submitted for students who do not enroll in other Texas public schools by the TEA school-start window, which is September 27, 2024 for the 2024-25 school year. Districts must document the withdrawal of students and maintain on file the appropriate paperwork associated with student withdrawals. Documentation is required for all leaver reasons. Detailed information about the documentation requirements for leaver reasons is provided in the link above. Documentation supporting use of a leaver reason(s) must exist in the district at the time the leaver data are submitted, i.e. no later than the PEIMS Submission 1 (Fall Submission) Resubmission date which is January 16, 2025 for the 2024-25 school year.

Additionally, please note that beginning in the 2025-26 school year, current-year leaver and graduation data will be reported in the PEIMS Summer and Extended Year Submissions. Please refer to the September 5, 2024 TAA: Early Notice – Moving Leaver and Graduate Reporting from the PEIMS Fall to the PEIMS Summer and Extended Year Submissions for more information and timelines to help prepare for this change.
