Reporting Events
On this Page
Student assessment results are provided in three stages: early, preliminary, and final. The results are posted in the Cambium Assessment, Inc. Secure File Center and are available for 90 days. For dates of specific reporting events applicable to each administration, refer to the Calendar of Events.
Early Reports
Early student results are available in the Centralized Reporting System (CRS) for district testing coordinators and superintendents to aid district personnel in making student-level decisions. In addition, early data files are posted in the Secure File Center for district coordinators. These early data files are provided in Excel in a custom data file format that is available on the Data File Formats webpage. Early results are for student-level information not district or campus accountability reporting.
A few days after early results are provided to district coordinators, the early results are available to other educators who have access to CRS and have associated rosters in TIDE.
CRS allows authorized users to view secure test questions. However, these test questions remain secure until they are released to the public in August.
Preliminary Reports
Each district’s preliminary assessment reports for accountability are posted in the Secure File Center for the district coordinator. These preliminary assessment reports include student report cards, student labels, district and campus summary reports, and reporting data files. Refer to the Data File Formats webpage for the specific format of the reporting data files.
In addition, each region’s preliminary assessment summary reports and reporting data files are posted in the Secure File Center for the region testing coordinator.
Finally, a few days after preliminary reports are provided to district and region testing coordinators, the preliminary assessment results for accountability are available in the family and research portals. District personnel should refer to the Family Portal page for information on helping parents access the Family Portal.
Assessment results included in the preliminary reports are the same results included in the final reports for accountability unless changes have been made during the data correction window.
Data Corrections
The data correction window follows the delivery of preliminary assessment reports. This is an opportunity for district testing personnel to make corrections to data reported in the preliminary results. Changes submitted during this window will be reflected in the final assessment reports for accountability that are posted to the Secure File Center. Any updates made after the data correction window will be included in scheduled updates but will not be reflected in final assessment reports or the consolidated accountability file.
District testing personnel should make any necessary corrections to the spelling of a student’s name or the student’s date of birth through the View/Edit/Export Student, Upload Student Information, or Upload Additional Student Fields tasks in the Student Information module in TIDE. For TELPAS and TELPAS Alternate, the Years in U.S. Schools field should also be updated as needed in TIDE.
If a student is reported in the wrong district or campus, the district coordinator should contact Texas Testing Support to correct the information.
For any students reported with a temporary ID, district testing personnel should merge the record with the student’s permanent Texas Student Data System (TSDS) ID.
If test results are associated to the incorrect student, district personnel should contact Texas Testing Support to have the test reassigned to the correct student.
District testing personnel may submit a score code change by selecting the Change Score Code option under Request Type in the Appeals/Score Codes module in TIDE.
STAAR |
Requesting Rescores District testing personnel may request a rescore of any short or extended constructed response on a STAAR assessment. To request a rescore, district coordinators should select the “Re-Score a Test” option under Request Type in the Appeals/Score Codes module in TIDE. A purchase order number must be included in the comments box of the Appeals/Score Codes module for the rescore to be processed. If a rescore request does not result in an improved score, the district will be charged $50. |
TELPAS |
Requesting Rescores During the data correction window listed on the Calendar of Events, rescore requests only for students who are at the advanced level for TELPAS speaking or TELPAS writing will be processed and reflected in final assessment reports and the consolidated accountability file. All other rescore requests may be submitted starting July 24, 2024, but will not be reflected in final assessment reports or the consolidated accountability file. To request a rescore to speaking responses in a TELPAS listening and speaking assessment or writing responses in the TELPAS reading and writing assessment, district testing personnel should select the “Re-Score a Test” option under Request Type in the Appeals/Score Codes module in TIDE. A purchase order number must be included in the comments box of the Appeals/Score Codes module for the rescore to be processed. If a rescore request does not result in an improved score, the district will be charged $50. |
Final Reports
Final assessment reports include updated reporting data files with changes made during the data correction window and any updated student report cards, student labels, and district and campus summary reports. Campus rosters are also available with final assessment reports. Each district’s final assessment reports for accountability are posted in the Secure File Center for the district coordinator.
Additionally, each region’s final assessment summary reports and reporting data files are posted in the Secure File Center for the region testing coordinator.
A few days after final reports are provided to district and region testing coordinators, the final assessment results for accountability are available in the family and research portals.
Final printed copies of student report cards and student labels will be shipped to the districts that requested printed versions during the opt-in windows.
STAAR |
For spring administrations of STAAR, item analysis summary reports and images of extended constructed responses are also be provided. These reports are posted in the Secure File Center for district and region testing coordinators. These reports are only available for assessments that are released. |
