Glossary of Terms

Grade Span: The grades taught at the school, as communicated to the Texas Education Agency by the district.

All Tests: The percentages on this report are based on the number of answer documents submitted for the tests listed below. Districts submit an answer document for each student enrolled at the time of the spring TAAS administration in the grades tested. Different tests are given at different grades:

Grade 3 - TAAS Reading and Mathematics; or TAAS Spanish Reading and Mathematics

Grade 4 - TAAS Reading, Writing, and Mathematics; or TAAS Spanish Reading and Mathematics

Grade 5 - TAAS Reading and Mathematics; or TAAS Spanish Reading and Mathematics

Grade 6 - TAAS Reading and Mathematics; or TAAS Spanish Reading and Mathematics

Grade 7 - TAAS Reading and Mathematics

Grade 8 - TAAS Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science

Grade 10 (exit level) - TAAS Reading, Writing, and Mathematics

Tested: The percent of students who took one or more of the TAAS tests listed above.

Accountability: The percent of students whose performance on the TAAS was used in determining accountability ratings for districts and schools.

TAAS Mobile: The percent of students who enrolled in the district after late October (the fall PEIMS submission date). The performance of these students is not currently considered when determining the school or district's accountability rating.

Special Education: The percent of students who were coded as "Special Education" on the TAAS answer document. The performance of these students is not currently considered when determining the school or district's accountability rating.

Spanish (Grades 3, 4, 5, & 6): The percent of students who took the Spanish TAAS for reading and/or mathematics. The performance of these students is not currently considered when determining the school or district's accountability rating.

Not Tested: The percent of students (in the grades tested) who did not take the TAAS.

Absent: The percent of students who did not take the TAAS because they were absent on the days of testing.

ARD Exempt: The percent of students who did not take the TAAS because they received a special education exemption from their Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) committee.

LEP Exempt: The percent of students who did not take the TAAS because they received a limited English proficiency (LEP) exemption as determined by a language proficiency assessment committee (LPAC).

Other: The percent of students whose answer documents were not scored due to other reasons, such as a student who became ill while taking the TAAS test.

Total Answer Documents: This number* represents the number of students enrolled at the time of the spring TAAS administration in the grades tested. Official "enrollment" numbers will not match exactly the number of answer documents submitted because enrollment is taken in the fall and students are tested in the spring.

* Totals may not sum due to rounding and/or missing information.
