Points based on weighted performance: One point given for each percentage of tests at the Met progress level. Two points given for each percentage of tests at the Exceeded progress level.
Additional progress measures in 2014: STAAR-M, STAAR-Alt, and ELL.
Progress Measures by Subject Area
Index 2: Student Progress
“corresponding test”
To be eligible for inclusion in Index 2 students must:
1) Have a valid score in the current year
2) Have taken the same version in the prior year and the current year
3) Have taken tests in the same language (Math being the exception)

Points based on STAAR performance: Phase-in 1 Level II satisfactory performance:
One point for each percent of tests at the Phase-in 1 Level II satisfactory performance standard.
By Subject Area: Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies.
Student Groups: Economically Disadvantaged The two lowest performing race/ethnicity

and all student groups; or Grade 9-12 Five-Year Graduation Rate for All Students
and all student groups, whichever contributes the higher number of points to the index.

and all student groups; or Grade 9-12 Five-Year Graduation Rate for All Students
and all student groups, whichever contributes the higher number of points to the index.
RHSP/DAP Graduates: All Students and race/ethnicity student groups.
STAAR Score: STAAR Percent Met Final Level ll on one or more tests for All Students and race/ethnicity student groups.

Community and Student Engagement
Beginning with the 2013-14 school year, districts will be required to evaluate community and student engagement for the district and each of their campuses and assign a rating. The ratings are required to be reported to TEA by August 8, 2014.
