Good afternoon, Performance Reporting bulletin members!  

The purpose of the bulletin, "This Week in Performance Reporting," is to share relevant updates, upcoming tools and deadlines, and provide accessible methods for stakeholders to provide feedback to the Performance Reporting team. The Performance Reporting team will also provide answers to frequently asked questions received through our emails and voicemails.  

We encourage stakeholders to leverage this resource as a snapshot of all things Performance Reporting at TEA and to access embedded links for additional details and context.  

Have a coworker who needs to sign up? Bulletin subscriptions can be managed at the following link.

Texas Performance Reporting System Release  

The Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS) is now updated.   

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 released include STAAR, CCMR, Accountability Summaries, Graduation, and Advanced Math Pathways data. An additional TPRS release will follow in November, to include student and staff information, postsecondary outcomes details, kindergarten readiness, and PreK effectiveness. 

2025 Results Driven Accountability (RDA) Reports Review Window  

RDA is a data-driven monitoring framework consisting of indicators in three program areas: bilingual education/English as a second language/emergent bilingual (BE/ESL/EB), special education (SPED), and other special populations (OSP).  

The confidential, unmasked data related to the RDA is on the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. School systems have 10 business days to review these reports and contact Performance Reporting via email at Performance.Reporting@tea.texas.gov with any questions or concerns about the confidential data. Once the 10-business-day review period ends on October 2, 2025, the final public RDA reports will be processed in November. Final RDA reports will include the FREs and the DLs for the three RDA program areas—Bilingual Education/English as a Second Language/Emergent Bilingual (EB/ESL/EB), Other Special Populations (OSP), and Special Education (SPED).  

For additional information, please review the TAA,10-Day Review Period for 2025 Confidential Results Driven Accountability Data 

2024 and 2025 Appeals Window is Now Closed  

The appeals window for both 2024 and 2025 accountability ratings is now closed. Each appeal will be carefully reviewed by an external panel. Prior to December 11, 2025, Commissioner’s decisions are provided in the form of response letters, posted in TEAL, to each district and charter school that filed an appeal by the submission deadline.    

On December 11, 2025, the following reports and resources will be posted: 

• 2024 and 2025 Final Ratings will be posted publicly on TXschools.gov 

• Count of Consecutive Years of Unacceptable Performance, to be found on the 2024 Accountability Rating System and 2025 Accountability Rating System webpages. 

• Final ratings will be posted on the TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application. 

• The Public Education Grant (PEG) final list for the 2026-2027 school year, based on 2025 ratings will be posted on the Public Education Grant webpage.  

Following the release of final ratings, stakeholders can expect to see reporting resources such as School Report Cards and Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) updated by mid-January 2026.
