2024 Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) Correction
A correction was made on January 8, 2025, to the calculation of “Career or Military Ready (Annual Graduates)” on the 2024 Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) after it was first released within the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application December 12, 2024. The correction updated the table to accurately classify special education students that graduated with the advanced diploma as “college ready” and not within “Career or Military Ready” as of 2022-23 graduates. This is a footnote on the report. We apologize for any inconvenience, as the corrected TAPR PDF report should replace any TAPR previously posted in accordance with the TAPR Guidelines.
PEIMS Fall Resubmission Deadline and Reminder
The PEIMS Fall Resubmission deadline is January 30, 2025. LEAs are not required to send a resubmission of PEIMS data. The period between the first submission and the resubmission deadlines is an extension provided to all LEAs to review their original submission for any errors/omissions and make corrections. If an LEA does not submit during the resubmission, or if the resubmission data are not free of fatal errors, TEA will use the PEIMS data sent for the first submission. As a reminder, PEIMS working collections are not used for accountability purposes.
To verify the data submitted to PEIMS, LEAs must use the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) PEIMS reports; reports generated by other student information systems may not provide a complete picture of the data accepted in PEIMS. LEA staff with an approved TSDS PEIMS role may access TSDS PEIMS campus and district reports by logging into the TEA Login (TEAL) platform and selecting the Texas Student Data System Portal. Updated PEIMS reports should be run following each phase of data entry to ensure LEAs are reviewing the most current data in the system.
As a reminder, PEIMS data from the Fall submission are used for accountability purposes in several ways, such as identifying students who may be included in the Accountability Subset and determining students who may have demonstrated College, Career, and Military Readiness by earning dual credit, industry certification, or an associates degree. These data cannot be updated through TIDE or other means, so it is imperative that LEAs verify accurate data entry by the January 30, 2025 PEIMS Fall Resubmission deadline to ensure students and LEAs get full credit for the accomplishments.
