The Texas Performance Reporting System (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 previously reported on state accountability data tables, the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), or the School Report Card. TPRS is the enhanced online version of TAPR. It has been recently updated with Remote vs. In-Person Data. TEAL Accountability application will show you unmasked data.


The TPRS Glossary provides definitions, describes methodologies, and lists sources for each tab in the TPRS system.

This Week in Performance Reporting Aug. 5

What’s New in Performance Reporting

A–F Accountability


Final 2022 College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Student Listing


Column L (EB/EL Status) of the Final 2022 CCMR Student Listing was updated on Monday, August 1. Emergent bilingual students/English learners who were year five in U.S. schools were incorrectly reported as M (monitored). The updated listing removed the M (monitored) label from these students.


If you have questions, please contact the Performance Reporting Division at (512) 463-9704 or performance.reporting@tea.texas.gov.


2022 Accountability Manual and Administrator’s Guide


The adopted version of Chapters 1–11, all appendices, and the 2022 Administrator’s Guide are now available. A summary of changes to Chapters 1–11 from proposal to adoption is also available.


2022 Consolidated Accountability File (CAF)


The testing contractor provides TEA, ESCs, and school districts with a CAF, which contains all performance results as well as all demographic and program information for every student. Accountability calculations are based on the CAF. The 2022 CAF will be posted to the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) inbox today.


The CAF is a large, complex data file. Specialized software is required to view it. Users may download the relevant data file format, which describes each field in the file. Alternatively, districts may choose to wait to view student-level data in the accountability student listings, which will be released on Monday, August 8.


Local Accountability System


The Local Accountability System Notice of Interest for districts wishing to participate in the local accountability system is available online. Districts submitting a form will be contacted for follow-up discussions.


Participating districts may wish to develop a plan during the summer of 2022 that is then applied to the 2022–23 school year. We also support districts that are using the 2022–23 school year to develop a plan for application to the 2023–24 school year.


An updated Local Accountability System Guide and Sample District Plan are now available on the local accountability webpage. Both provide information about plan requirements and example components.


Districts wishing to learn more about the local accountability system and how to develop a district local accountability plan can participate in a 45-minute overview webinar with time for Q & A.


Webinar registration links for August are below. The fall schedule will be available soon.

2023 Accountability

The Preliminary 2023 Academic Accountability System Framework is now available. As part of the continuous improvement process, the agency spent two years consulting with stakeholders on enhancements to the accountability system. The proposed enhancements described in the preliminary framework are designed to provide parents, community members, and educators with the data essential to drive improved outcomes for all Texas children.


This document provides an overview of the proposed adjustments and is intended to guide discussions and spur additional stakeholder feedback, which will be gathered through fall 2022.


Stakeholders are encouraged to provide feedback through October 1, 2022, to help inform an updated October accountability system framework, which will be published in late October 2022. The proposed 2023 Accountability Manual will be published in early 2023 for additional feedback prior to becoming rule in summer 2023. Questions and/or feedback can be sent to performance.reporting@tea.texas.gov.

Beginning-of-Year Assessments

As a result of LEA feedback, optional BOY assessments will be available during the 2022–23 school year. BOY assessments are designed to be administered at the start of the school year to provide educators with data to develop appropriate instructional plans and address gaps in student learning. This coming year’s BOY assessments will be the Spring 2022 released STAAR tests. Score calculations for English I and English II BOY assessments will not include constructed responses.

STAAR Interim Assessments

STAAR Interim Assessments, an optional online tool to help educators monitor progress and predict student performance on STAAR, will be available during the 2022–23 school year for all STAAR tested grades/subjects and courses. Interim assessments are full-scope tests designed to be administered one to two times during the school year, depending on the content area. Interim assessments will include new item types that will appear on STAAR in Spring 2023, except for constructed response questions because they are not machine-scorable. Windows for administering interim assessments can be found in the table below.

Texas Formative Assessment Resource (TFAR)

TFAR is a free, optional platform used by educators to create, administer, analyze, and share formative assessments. Teachers will be able to analyze the results of these formative assessments to help inform instructional choices such as making immediate lesson plan adjustments or providing specific interventions for students at the level of individual standards.


TFAR is meant to supplement and support existing LEA resources and formative assessment practices. Assessments created in TFAR should be combined with a broader set of classroom formative practices that are part of a coherent instructional framework.


Additionally, formative assessments from select, high quality instructional materials (HQIM) with an open education license will be available to administer through the same online test administration system as assessments created using TFAR. Assessments from math and RLA curricula, grades K-5, will be prioritized, and other, select curricula’s assessments will be released on a rolling basis. More information about which HQIM products’ tests will be available in the online system and the release dates of these tests will be available in the fall.

Prelim. Preview of 21-22 School FIRST Ratings Aug. 2

A school district’s 2021–2022 School FIRST rating is based upon an analysis of financial data for fiscal year 2021 (i.e., the fiscal period ended June 30, 2021, or August 31, 2021, depending upon the ending date of the school district’s fiscal year).


Official notification of the 2021–2022 preliminary ratings will be announced and released to the public on August 4, 2022.


An appeal of your school district’s rating cannot be submitted until the preliminary ratings are released publicly on August 4, 2022.


If you have questions about your school district's 2021–2022 preliminary rating, please contact Robin Aldridge at (512) 463-3940 or Robin.Aldridge@tea.texas.gov. You may also submit your questions to FinancialAccountability@tea.texas.gov.

*NEW* The National Suicide Prevention Line

Starting July 16h The National Suicide Prevention Line is changing! The once 11-digit number is now shortened to three digits 9-8-8. When people call or text #988 they will be connected to trained counselors with the lifeline network.


In 2020, Congress designated the new 988 dialing code to operate through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s (1-800-273-8255) network of over 200 locally operated and funded crisis centers across the country. On July 16, 2022, the U.S. will transition to using the 988-dialing code, offering an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen and expand the existing Lifeline. The vision for 988 is to have additional crisis services available in communities across the nation, much the way emergency medical services work.


As 988 rolls out across the country it is vital that the unique needs of children, youth and young adults are considered to ensure that crisis response services are not traumatizing for children, services are age and developmentally appropriate, and services stabilize the situation to keep children in their homes and with their families.
