(At this point, only EOCs are reported. Grade 3-8 assessments will be added when they become available in August.)

2021-22 School Year

Reports the scale score cut points and corresponding raw score %ages correct for Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level and Masters Grade Level for the Spring administrations of STAAR assessments (English) in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Also reports the average %ages correct across the 6 years for each assessment.

Reports the gain scores and methodology for calculating a student’s STAAR Progress Measure across 2 years (2019 to 2021). NOTE: TEA decided NOT to use the 2020-21 SPM in calculating Academic Growth for 2021 accountability data reporting due to inconsistencies in its measurement. This table summarizes TEA’s methodology in calculating the 2020-21 SPM. However, due to the limited instructional value of the 2020-21 SPM, lead4ward does not recommend that it be used by districts in evaluating 2021 STAAR results.

2018-19 School Year

Reports the scale score cut points and corresponding raw score conversion cut points for the 3 levels of passing performance on STAAR under Commissioner Rule §101.3041 (Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level and Masters Grade Level) for the Spring 2019 paper administrations (English) of STAAR assessments in Grades 3-8 and EOCs. For Grades 5 and 8 Reading and Math, the chart only reports the raw score conversions for the first, or primary, administration of the test.

For Grade 5 Reading and Math, the chart only reports the raw score conversions for the first, or primary, administration of the test.

Reports the gain scores and methodology for assigning progress/growth categories for the 2017 STAAR Progress Measure/STAAR Growth Measure. Effective with the Spring 2017 STAAR assessments, TEA has implemented a change in terminology for the 3 categories of STAAR Progress/STAAR Growth. Did Not Meet Progress is now Limited Growth. Met Progress is now Expected Growth. Exceeded Progress is now Accelerated Growth.

The ESTIMATED raw score ranges reported in this table were calculated by applying the %age of items required for students to meet the applicable performance standard on the Spring 2016 (English) paper administration versions of the indicated STAAR assessments to the maximum raw scores for each assessment in Spring 2017. The ESTIMATED raw score ranges are ONLY estimated projections for the Spring 2017 assessments. This table is intended SOLELY to provide approximations or reasonable estimates of the ranges of raw cut points for the applicable scale score performance standards specified in PROPOSED Commissioner Rule for the Spring 2017 STAAR assessments.

This document summarizes the STAAR performance standards for each STAAR assessment beginning in 2016-17 as specified in PROPOSED Commissioner Rule published on December 7, 2016. As specified in the PROPOSED Rule, the Commissioner has recommended that the current phase-in schedule be replaced with a final set of standards and labels to indicate four levels of student performance, as follows: Did Not Meet Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level.
