Introduction This glossary provides definitions of terms and descriptions of calculations used in the Texas Education Agency reports Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Examination Results in Texas Public Schools, 2018-19, and Advanced Placement Examination Results in Texas and the United States, 2018-19.
Texas Public School Accountability System The Texas public school accountability system evaluates the performance of districts and campuses in three domains: Student Achievement, School Progress, and Closing the Gaps (Texas Education Code, Chapter 39). For the 2020 accountability ratings cycle, all districts and campuses received a label of Not Rated: Declared State of Disaster. Extraordinary public health and safety circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of schools during the state's testing window and inhibited the state's ability to measure district and campus performance accurately. The 2020 Accountability Manual remained as a technical guide that explained how information from different sources would have been used to calculate and assign accountability ratings and award distinction designations if A-F ratings had been assigned. Districts and campuses would have received overall accountability ratings of A-F based on results across a number of indicators in the three domains. Performance on AP and IB was a component of the college, career, and military readiness indicators, which were included in all three domains.
College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Indicators The CCMR indicators in the Texas public school accountability system use performance data from the ACT, AP, IB, SAT, and Texas Success Initiative assessments, among other data, to measure students' preparedness for college, the workforce, or the military. There are two CCMR indicators in the accountability system: one for the Student Achievement and School Progress domains and one for the Closing the Gaps domain. Performance on AP and IB is included in both CCMR indicators. For the 2020 accountability ratings cycle, the CCMR indicator for the Student Achievement and School Progress domains measured the percentage of 2019 annual graduates who scored at or above a criterion score on at least one AP or IB examination in any subject and the CCMR indicator for the Closing the Gaps domain measured the percentage of 2019 annual graduates plus students in Grade 12 in the 2018-19 school year who scored at or above a criterion score on at least one AP or IB examination in any subject. The AP/IB components of the CCMR indicators were evaluated based on data for the 2015-16 through 2018-19 school years. Distinction Designations Overview Under the Texas public school accountability system, distinction designations are awarded to recognize school districts and campuses for outstanding achievement in specified academic areas (Texas Education Code, Chapter 39, Subchapter G). The distinction designations are based on results across a number of indicators. To be eligible to earn a distinction designation, a district or campus must receive an accountability rating of A, B, C, or D. Academic Achievement Distinction Designations (AADDs) For the 2020 accountability ratings cycle, AADDs were available at the campus level in four subject areas: English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies. Each AADD included two AP/IB indicators: participation in, and performance on, AP/IB examinations in the specified subject area. Results for a campus were evaluated in relation to results for a comparison group of similar campuses. The AP/IB indicators for AADDs were evaluated based on data for the 2018-19 school year. AADDs were not available for districts. Following are examples of AP/IB indicator calculations for AADDs, using ELA as the subject area. Participation in AP/IB examinations in ELA, which measures the campus-wide percentage of students in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in ELA, was calculated as follows: number of students in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in ELA number of students in Grades 11 and 12 Performance on AP/IB examinations in ELA, which measures the campus-wide percentage of examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who scored at or above criterion on at least one AP or IB examination in ELA, was calculated as follows: number of examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who scored at or above criterion on at least one AP or IB examination in ELA number of students in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in ELA Closing the Gaps Distinction Designations (CGDDs) For the 2020 accountability ratings cycle, one CGDD was available at the campus level. The CGDD included one AP/IB indicator as a component of the CCMR indicator for the Closing the Gaps domain: performance on AP/IB examinations in any subject area. Results for a campus were evaluated in relation to results for a comparison group of similar campuses. The indicator for CGDDs measured the percentage of 2019 annual graduates plus students in Grade 12 in the 2018-19 school year who scored at or above a criterion score on at least one AP or IB examination in any subject, among other CCMR criteria. The indicator was evaluated based on AP/IB data for the 2015-16 through 2018-19 school years. CGDDs were not available for districts. Postsecondary Readiness Distinction Designations (PRDDs) For the 2020 accountability ratings cycle, one PRDD was available at the campus level, and one was available at the district level. In each case, the PRDD included two AP/IB indicators: participation in AP/IB examinations in any subject area and college, career, and military ready graduates. The college, career, and military ready graduates indicator measured the percentage of 2019 annual graduates who scored at or above a criterion score on at least one AP or IB examination in any subject, among other CCMR criteria. Results for a campus were evaluated in relation to results for a comparison group of similar campuses. Results for a district were evaluated based on results for campus-level indicators aggregated across all campuses in the district. The AP/IB participation indicator for PRDDs was evaluated based on data for the 2018-19 school year, and the college, career, and military ready graduates indicator was evaluated based on AP/IB data for the 2015-16 through 2018-19 school years. At the campus level, participation in AP/IB examinations in any subject, which measures the campus-wide percentage of examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in any subject, was calculated as follows: number of students in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in any subject number of students in Grades 11 and 12

At the campus level, participation in AP/IB examinations in any subject, which measures the campus-wide percentage of examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in any subject, was calculated as follows: number of students in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in any subject number of students in Grades 11 and 12
Following are examples of AP/IB indicator calculations for AADDs, using ELA as the subject area.
At the campus level, participation in AP/IB examinations in any subject, which measures the campus-wide percentage of examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who took at least one AP or IB examination in any subject, was calculated as follows:
For more information about the AP/IB indicators, see Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate General Information, 2018-19. For more information about accountability system ratings and distinction designations, see the 2020 Accountability Manual. See also Criterion Score.
AI Code The attending institution (AI) code, also referred to as the High School Code (or CEEB code), is a unique identifier requested by, and assigned to, schools across the country. Testing companies use AI codes instead of the county-district-campus numbers assigned by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to refer to Texas schools in the testing data provided to TEA. TEA then uses a multistep process to match student-level test results to Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) data. It is critical that the correct AI codes be used when registering for, or taking, examinations. Immediately after receiving the campus summaries for the examinations from a testing company, districts are responsible for verifying the accuracy of all of the information in the summaries, including the campuses identified by students, so test results can be accurately attributed. Because AI codes can change from year to year, TEA displays them in AskTED and maintains a historical database of the links between AI codes and campus IDs.
At-Risk A student identified as at-risk of dropping out of school is one who is under age 26 and who meets one or more of the following criteria:

Bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) Bilingual indicates that the student is participating in a state-approved bilingual education program. The program must be a full-time program that provides dual-language instruction through the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in the content areas (mathematics, science, health, and social studies) in the primary language of English learners (ELs). In addition, the program must provide for a carefully structured and sequenced mastery of English cognitive academic language development. ESL indicates that a student is participating in a state-approved ESL program. An ESL program in Grade 8 and below is a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers either certified or endorsed in ESL who use second language acquisition information to teach ELs the ESL TEKS. An ESL program in Grades 9-12 is a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers trained in recognizing and dealing with language differences.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) A student enrolled in a state-approved CTE program as a participant in the district's career and technical coherent sequence of courses is identified as participating in a career and technical education program. Students enrolled in CTE courses as electives are excluded from CTE results.
Criterion Score For purposes of assigning accountability ratings and awarding distinction designations under the Texas public school accountability system, AP/IB examination performance indicators measure the percentages of annual graduates, annual graduates plus students in Grade 12, and examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who scored at or above a criterion score on at least one examination. The criterion scores are defined as 3 or higher on an AP examination and 4 or higher on an IB examination. All Texas colleges and universities must adopt and implement a policy to grant undergraduate course credit for incoming freshman who have completed the IB Diploma Programme or achieved required scores on one or more AP examinations. See also Texas Public School Accountability System.

Data Masking The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (Title 20 of the United States Code §1232(g); Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 99) prohibits improper disclosure of personally identifiable student information by any educational agency or institution that receives funding under any program administered by the United States Department of Education (ED). In 2016, ED guidance on reporting education data in compliance with FERPA changed, relaxing requirements for masking state-level data. Based on this guidance, state-level data presented will no longer be masked, beginning with 2015-16 reporting.
Dyslexia Dyslexia is a disorder of constitutional origin manifested by a difficulty in learning to read, write, or spell, despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and sociocultural opportunity. A student is identified as having dyslexia after being screened or tested at the end of his or her kindergarten year and in Grade 1 in accordance with a program approved by the State Board of Education.

Economically Disadvantaged A student identified as economically disadvantaged is one who is eligible for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch and Child Nutrition Program.
End-of-Course (EOC) Substitute Assessments for Graduation Beginning in the 2011-12 school year, approved AP and IB examinations may be used to substitute one specific EOC assessment graduation requirement. A student who passes the AP Biology examination or the IB Biology examination may substitute either assessment for the Biology EOC assessment graduation requirement. A student who passes the AP English Language and Composition examination or the IB Language A: Language and Literature examination may substitute either assessment for the English I or English II EOC assessment graduation requirement. A student who passes the AP United States History examination or the IB History of the Americas examination may substitute either assessment for the United States History EOC assessment graduation requirement. Passing scores are defined as 3 or higher for an AP examination and 4 or higher on an IB examination.

Foster Care A student classified as being in foster care is in the conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services.
Gender
College Board The College Board collects student-reported demographic information, such as gender, when examinees take each examination. Prior to the 2018-19 school year, the College Board provided two gender options: female and male. Beginning in the 2018-19 school year, the College Board provided a third, nonbinary gender option: another gender. International Baccalaureate IB collects student-reported demographic information, such as gender, when examinees take each examination. Prior to the 2018-19 school year, IB provided two gender options: female and male. Beginning in the 2018-19 school year, IB provided a third, nonbinary gender option that may also be interpreted as unspecified gender. Texas Education Agency (TEA) School districts submit student demographic information to TEA through the Texas Student Data System (TSDS). TSDS provides two options for gender: female and male.

Homeless A student is classified as homeless when the student lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence as defined by Title 42 of the United States Code (U.S.C.) §11434(a). This definition includes:
Immigrant A student identified as an immigrant is one who: (a) is aged 3 through 21; (b) was not born in any state in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia; and (c) has not been attending school in the United States for more than three full academic years. United States citizenship is not a factor when identifying a student as an immigrant for the purpose of public school data collection.
Mean Score A mean score is the average score for a given group on a given examination. As an example, the mean AP Psychology score for Texas is calculated as follows:
Mean AP scores for students in public and nonpublic schools combined in Texas, other states, and the United States are calculated based on data obtained from the College Board.
Migrant A student identified as a migrant is one who: (a) is aged 3 through 21; (b) is (or whose parent, spouse, or guardian is) a migratory agricultural worker, including a migratory dairy worker, or a migratory fisher; and (c) in the preceding 36 months, to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in agriculture or fishing, or to accompany a parent, spouse, or guardian to obtain such employment: (1) has moved from one school district to another; or (2) resides in a school district of more than 15,000 square miles and migrates a distance of 20 miles or more to a temporary residence to engage in a fishing activity.
Military-Connected A student identified as military-connected is a dependent of a member of the United States military service in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard on active duty, the Texas National Guard, or a reserve force of the United States military.
Participation Rate Participation rates for Texas public school students are presented for AP and IB examinations separately, as well as for the two combined. When combined results are presented, data for an individual who took both types of examinations are counted only once. For example, the AP/IB participation rate for students in Grades 11 and 12 is calculated as follows:
AP participation rates for students in public and nonpublic schools combined in Texas, other states, and the United States are calculated based on data obtained from the College Board. For information about calculations for distinction designations, see Distinction Designations.
Performance: Examinations With Scores At or Above Criterion (3 or higher on an AP examination and 4 or higher on an IB examination) Performance results for all examinations taken by Texas public school students are presented for AP and IB examinations separately, as well as for the two combined. Counts of examinations are based on the number of examinations taken in the current school year that received valid scores. Examination counts are higher than examinee counts because some examinees take more than one subject examination. As an example, the percentage of AP/IB examinations taken by students in Grades 11 and 12 that received scores at or above criterion is calculated as follows:
See also Criterion Score. AP performance results for examinees in public and nonpublic schools combined in Texas, other states, and the United States are calculated based on data obtained from the College Board.
Performance: Examinees Scoring At or Above Criterion (3 or higher on an AP examination and 4 or higher on an IB examination) Performance results for Texas public school examinees are presented for AP and IB examinations separately, as well as for the two combined. Students who have valid AP scores in the range of 1 to 5 or valid IB scores in the range of 1 to 7 for at least one examination taken in the current school year are counted as examinees that year. When combined results are presented, data for an individual who took both types of examinations are counted only once. As an example, the percentage of AP/IB examinees in Grades 11 and 12 who scored at or above criterion is calculated as follows:
See also Criterion Score. For information about calculations for college, career, and military readiness indicators, see College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Indicators. For information about calculations for distinction designations, see Distinction Designations. AP performance results for examinees in public and nonpublic schools combined in Texas, other states, and the United States are calculated based on data obtained from the College Board.
Performance: Students Qualifying for College Credit Based on AP or IB Examination Performance Students in Grades 11 and 12 who have valid AP scores in the range of 3 to 5 or valid IB scores in the range of 4 to 7 for at least one examination taken in the current school year are counted as qualifying for college credit. Data for an individual who took both types of examinations are counted only once. The percentage of students qualifying for college credit is calculated as follows:
Race/Ethnicity
College Board The College Board collects student-reported demographic information, such as race/ethnicity, when examinees take each examination. For 2014-15 and earlier school years, College Board reported the following five racial/ethnic categories: African American, American Indian, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic (Mexican American, Puerto Rican, or other Hispanic), and White. Beginning in 2015-16, College Board collected data on race and ethnicity in compliance with the federal standard. The standard requires that race and ethnicity be collected separately using a specific two-part question, presented in a specific order, and that both parts of the question be answered. Part 1. Are you of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin? No, not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin Yes, Cuban Yes, Mexican Yes, Puerto Rican Yes, another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin Part 2. What is your race? American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Black or African American Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander White College Board combines the answers to the two-part question to create the following seven mutually exclusive racial/ethnic categories: African American, American Indian, Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, White, and multiracial. A student identified as Hispanic is included only in the count for Hispanics. A student not identified as Hispanic is included in the count for only one of the following six racial categories: African American, American Indian, Asian, Pacific Islander, White, or multiracial. A student identified as having two or more races is included only in the count for multiracial students, not in the count for any single racial category. International Baccalaureate IB collects student-reported demographic information, such as race/ethnicity, when examinees take each examination. Prior to the 2015-16 school year, IB reported the following five racial/ethnic categories: African American, American Indian, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and White.

Texas Education Agency (TEA) School districts submit student demographic information to TEA through the Texas Student Data System. In 2009-10, TEA began collecting data on race and ethnicity in compliance with a new federal standard. The standard requires that race and ethnicity be collected separately using a specific two-part question, presented in a specific order, and that both parts of the question be answered. Part 1. Ethnicity: Is the person Hispanic/Latino? Choose only one. Hispanic/Latino Not Hispanic/Latino Part 2. Race: What is the person's race? Choose one or more, regardless of ethnicity. American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Black or African American Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander White The racial/ethnic categories are defined as follows: African American: A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. American Indian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America). Asian: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. Hispanic: A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. Pacific Islander: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. White: A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East. Multiracial: A person identified as having two or more races.
