19 Tex. Admin. Code § 101.3041 - Performance Standards
(a) The
commissioner of education shall determine the level of performance considered
to be satisfactory on the assessment instruments. The figures in this section
identify the performance standards established by the commissioner for
state-developed assessments, as required by the Texas Education Code, Chapter
39, Subchapter B, for each assessment.
(b) The figures in this subsection identify
the performance standards established by the commissioner for the State of
Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) general and alternate
assessments at Grades 3-8.
(1) The figure in
this paragraph identifies the STAAR® performance standards at Grades 3-8.
(2) The figure in this paragraph
identifies the STAAR® Alternate 2 performance standards at Grades 3-8.
(c) For students first
enrolled in Grade 9 or below in the 2011-2012 school year, the figures in this
subsection identify the performance standards established by the commissioner
for the STAAR® end-of-course (EOC) general and alternate assessments. The
standard in place when a student first takes a STAAR® EOC assessment is the
standard that will be maintained on all EOC assessments throughout the
student's high school career.
(1) The figure
in this paragraph identifies the STAAR® EOC assessment performance standards.
(2) The figure in this paragraph
identifies the STAAR® Alternate 2 EOC assessment performance standards.
(d) The Texas Education
Agency shall post annually to its website a 100-point score conversion table
after the STAAR® assessment spring administration. The 100-point scale is
defined using percentiles, which represent the percentage of students across
the state that took the assessment and received a scale score less than the
scale score of interest. The percentile is based on the performance of students
who took the assessment during the spring administration of any given year.
(1) The following formula is used to
calculate the percentile p(S) for a scale score
S:
p(S) = x/N x 100.
(2) In the formula in paragraph (1) of this
subsection, N is the total number of students who took the
tests, and x is the number of students with scale scores less
than S. If the calculated percentile is not a whole number,
then it is rounded down to the closest whole number.
