The 2013 Texas Accountability System introduced various rating labels to assess school performance. Campuses received ratings based on performance index targets, including "Met Standard," "Met Alternative Standard," and "Improvement Required." This year was a transition period, with the performance index framework not fully implemented. Key measures included student growth in core subjects, graduation rates, and achievement gaps among different student groups. Reports highlighted the need for improvement plans for campuses not meeting safeguard targets while maintaining accountability standards.

2013 Rating Labels: • Met Standard – met all performance index targets • Met Alternative Standard – met all modified performance index targets for alternative education campuses and districts • Improvement Required – did not meet one or more performance index targets • 2013 Transition Year: The 2013 ratings criteria and targets will stand alone because the performance index framework cannot be fully implemented in 2013.
WHO: -10 Student Groups -STAAR Reading, Math, & Writing WHAT: Credit based on growth expectations: 1 credit for Meeting Expectations 2 credits for Exceeding Expectations WHO: -All Students -All Test Versions -All Subject Areas WHAT: Credit given for students reaching Level II (satisfactory) performance. WHO: -Only the Eco. Dis. group and the two lowest performing race/ethnicity groups from last year. -All subject areas WHAT: Credit given for students reaching Level II (satisfactory) performance.

Performance Index Criteria • To receive a Met Standard rating, all campuses and districts must meet the following accountability targets on all indexes for which they have performance data in 2013. * Target will be set at about the fifth percentile of campus performance and will be applied to both campuses and districts.
System Safeguards • Disaggregated performance rates based on the target for student achievement in Index 1 • Participation, graduation rates, and limits on use of STAAR Alternate and STAAR Modified are calculated to meet federal requirements. • Results reported for any cell that meets minimum size requirements • If a campus or district does not meet the safeguard target on any measure, this must be incorporated into the Campus and/or District Improvement Plan(s) and the Texas Accountability Intervention System (TAIS). • These missed measures will not automatically result in an unsatisfactory accountability rating
