Assessment Scores The following gives a brief description of scores provided for the STAAR grades 3–8 assessments. For more detailed technical information about scores, refer to the Technical Digest, available on TEA’s Student Assessment Division webpage.

Raw ScoreThe raw score is the number of items answered correctly on an assessment. By itself, the raw score has limited utility; it can be interpreted only in reference to the total number of items on a subject-area assessment, and raw scores should not be compared across administrations.

The raw score is reported by overall assessment and by reporting category.

Horizontal Scale ScoreThe horizontal scale score is used for the grades 4 and 7 writing, grades 5 and 8 science, and grade 8 social studies STAAR assessments.

The horizontal scale score is a statistic that allows a comparison of scores by adjusting for variations in the difficulty of the forms used in different administrations. The horizontal scale score can be used to determine whether a student achieved Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, or Masters Grade Level performance, to compare one student to another taking the same grade/subject area assessment, and to compare cohorts of students taking the same grade/subject area assessment in different years. However, the horizontal scale score cannot be used to compare a student’s achievement across grades or subject areas.

Vertical Scale ScoreThe vertical scale score is used for the STAAR grades 3–8 mathematics and reading assessments (including Spanish versions for grades 3–5).

The important feature of the vertical scale score is that, unlike the horizontal scale score, it can be used to evaluate a student’s progress across grades in a particular subject. The vertical scale score can also be used to determine whether a student achieved Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, or Masters Grade Level performance, to compare one student to another taking the same grade/subject area assessment, and to compare cohorts of students taking the same grade/subject area assessment in different years. However, the vertical scale score cannot be compared across subject areas within the same assessment program. On the vertical scale, the Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, or Masters Grade Level scale score increases for each grade.

Performance StandardsThe following gives a brief description of the performance levels used on the STAAR 3–8 assessments.

Masters Grade LevelPerformance in this category indicates that students are expected to succeed in the next grade or course with little or no academic intervention. Students in this category demonstrate the ability to think critically and apply the assessed knowledge and skills in varied contexts, both familiar and unfamiliar.

For Algebra II and English III, the Masters Grade Level performance also indicates students are well prepared for postsecondary success.

Meets Grade LevelPerformance in this category indicates that students have a high likelihood of success in the next grade or course but may still need some short-term, targeted academic intervention. Students in this category generally demonstrate the ability to think critically and apply the assessed knowledge and skills in familiar contexts.

For Algebra II and English III, the Meets Grade Level performance also indicates students are sufficiently prepared for postsecondary success.

Approaches Grade LevelPerformance in this category indicates that students are likely to succeed in the next grade or course with targeted academic intervention. Students in this category generally demonstrate the ability to apply the assessed knowledge and skills in familiar contexts.

Did Not Meet Grade LevelPerformance in this category indicates that students are unlikely to succeed in the next grade or course without significant, ongoing academic intervention. Students in this category do not demonstrate a sufficient understanding of the assessed knowledge and skills.

Appropriate Score UsesSTAAR 3–8 assessment results have several uses, both for individual students and for comparing the performance of groups. A more detailed explanation of appropriate score uses can be found in the Technical Digest, available on TEA’s Student Assessment Division webpage.

2021 TEXAS STUDENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM INTERPRETING ASSESSMENT REPORTS 2.4

Individual StudentsThe STAAR 3–8 scale score indicates whether a student has met a performance level and how far the student’s achievement is above or below a performance level. All students not achieving the Approaches Grade Level performance on a STAAR 3–8 assessment must be offered additional instruction.

Assessment results can be used to compare the performance of an individual student to the performance of a demographic group, a program group, or an entire campus or district in a particular grade level. For example, the scores for a Hispanic student in a gifted and talented program could be compared to the average scores of Hispanic students, to other gifted and talented students, or to all the students at the campus assessed at the grade level.

Groups of StudentsAssessment scores can be used to compare the performance of different demographic or program groups. All STAAR 3–8 scores can be analyzed within the same grade and subject area for any single administration to determine which demographic or program group had the highest average scale score, the lowest percentage achieving each performance level, the highest percentage achieving Masters Grade Level performance, etc.

Other scores can be used to help evaluate the academic performance of demographic or program groups in core academic areas. For example, aggregations of reporting-category data can help districts and campuses identify areas of potential academic weakness for a group of students. This same methodology can be applied to an entire campus or district.

In addition, all assessment scores can be compared to regional and statewide performance within the same subject area for any administration.

Cautions for Score Use Several cautions must be kept in mind when analyzing STAAR assessment results. More detailed technical information describing cautions for score use is provided in the Technical Digest, available on TEA’s Student Assessment Division webpage.

Horizontal and Vertical Scale ScoresBoth the horizontal and vertical scale scores allow for a comparison of assessment scores, within a particular grade and subject area, across administrations.

Only the vertical scale score allows for a comparison of scores across grades in a particular subject. For example, a student’s scale score on the grade 3 reading assessment could be compared to the student’s scale score on the grade 4 reading assessment.

2021 TEXAS STUDENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM INTERPRETING ASSESSMENT REPORTS 2.5

Neither the vertical nor the horizontal scale score can be used to compare achievement across subjects.

Using Reporting-Category Information Reporting-category information at the individual student level should be used with caution due to the limited number of items in each reporting category. When aggregated at the campus or district level, such information might be useful in helping campuses identify skill areas in which further diagnosis is warranted. As with all assessments given at a single point in time, the data generated from this snapshot should be used in conjunction with other evaluations of performance to provide an in-depth portrait of student achievement. Once an area of possible weakness has been identified, supplementary data should be gathered to further define which instructional intervention would be most effective.

Furthermore, because each STAAR 3–8 assessment is equated only at the total assessment level, year-to-year comparisons of reporting-category performance should be made cautiously. The assessment is constructed to make the difficulty of a given reporting category similar for each administration of a STAAR 3–8 assessment. However, some fluctuations in the difficulty of the reporting categories do occur at every administration. Observing trends in reporting-category performance over time, identifying patterns of performance in clusters of reporting categories assessing similar skills, and comparing campus or district reporting-category performance to that of the region or state are appropriate uses of group reporting-category information.

Raw Score Distribution for Essay QuestionsBecause the essay questions from different administrations could be different items, the raw score distributions for such items across administrations are not directly comparable.

Program Evaluation Standardized assessments are a valuable tool for evaluating programs. However, any assessment can furnish only one part of the picture. The STAAR 3–8 assessments are not able to identify, let alone measure, every factor that contributes to the success or failure of a program. Assessment results can be most helpful if considered as one component of an evaluation system.

The Passing Standard and Items CorrectThe passing standards for STAAR 3–8 are related to two factors: (1) the difficulty of the items on the assessments, and (2) the number of items students have to answer correctly to pass. The passing standard is set on the original form of each grade and subject-area assessment. When different items are used in another administration, the difficulty of the items, and thus the overall difficulty of the assessment, might fluctuate. To compensate for slight changes in difficulty, the number of items needed to pass the assessment is adjusted.

STAAR Report CardExamples shown: STAAR Grade 4, STAAR Grade 5, STAAR Grade 8

A separate STAAR Report Card is provided for each student for whom a STAAR, STAAR Spanish, or STAAR with Embedded Supports answer document or online record was submitted. Assessment results are shown for each subject area assessed for that grade. Information from this report is useful when reporting results to students and parents. Results for students taking one or more STAAR subjects will be combined on the same STAAR Report Card.

Available: STAAR, STAAR Spanish, and STAAR with Embedded Supports results are combined on one report.

A.

Performance at a Glance This shows the student’s performance levels for all STAAR assessments the student has taken.

B. Student Portal InformationThis provides the web address and access code for parents and students to access information from the STAAR Report Card online.

C. Student and School Identification InformationThe top of the STAAR Report Card contains identification information, both for the student (name, identification number, etc.) and the school (district, class group, etc.). For confidentiality, the student identification number (P E I M S) is indicated by five asterisks followed by the last four digits of the ID number. The grade and the report date are also indicated.

D. PercentileThis shows the percentage of students who scored the same or lower than the student’s score when comparing the student’s performance to all Texas students who took the same test last year. For more information about last year’s scoring distribution, visit T E A ’s STAAR Frequency Distributions webpage.

E. Student’s Scale ScoreThe student’s scale score is an indicator of his or her performance on the test. The STAAR scale score allows comparison of the student’s score with the score ranges of the Did Not Meet Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level performances. The scale score indicates how far the student’s achievement is above or below these performance standards.

F. Scale Score BarThis bar shows how well students could perform on the test. The placement of the student’s scale score shows where the student actually performed on the test. The scores needed to achieve each performance level are also marked on the scale score bar.

Reporting CategoriesThe content and skills tested on each STAAR assessment are grouped together. Each group is called a reporting category. The categories for each subject are listed in this review description section.

H. Weighted Score This shows the points the student earned on the written composition out of the total points possible. The process of weighting assessment scores emphasizes the contribution of the written composition when computing the final score. The written composition is not weighted at grade 4 and is weighted by two at grade 7.

For example, at grade 4, if a student has 17 of the 24 multiple-choice items correct and receives a combined score of 5 on the written composition, the student’s total writing raw score will be 22 out of 32 possible raw score points (17 + 5).

At grade 7, if a student has 22 of the 30 multiple-choice items correct and receives a combined score of 5 on the written composition, the student’s total writing raw score will be 32 out of 46 possible raw score points {22 + (5 * 2)}.

I. Answered CorrectlyThis shows the number of questions the student answered correctly out of the total number of questions tested in each reporting category.

J. STAAR Progress MeasureThe STAAR Progress Measure provides information about how much the student has improved in a subject area. This measure is based on a comparison of the student’s score last year with his or her score this year. The student can receive one of the three Progress Measure designations—Limited, Expected, and Accelerated. Additional information about the STAAR Progress Measures can be found in the STAAR Resources section on TEA’s webpage.

K. Test InformationThis shows whether the student took the STAAR assessment with embedded supports on paper or took the STAAR assessment online with or without embedded supports. This also indicates when a Spanish test was administered.

L. Lexile MeasureThe Lexile measure indicates the difficulty of the materials that the student should be able to read successfully. The Lexile measure for STAAR students is reported in the range of Beginning Reader (BR or 0L) to a positive value in each grade (e.g., 1100L at grade 3, 1200L at grade 4, and so on).

M. Quantile Measure The Quantile measure indicates the progress made in learning mathematics content and what new mathematics content they may be ready to learn next. The Quantile measure for STAAR students is reported in the range of Emerging Mathematician (EM or 0L) to a positive value in each grade (e.g., 400Q at grade 3, 500Q at grade 4 and so on).

N. Resources These are personalized strategies per subject for college and career planning.

Test DateFor grades without retest administrations, the date of testing will be SPRING 2021. For grades with retest administrations (grades 5 and 8), the date of testing will be the month the assessment occurred.

P. Test ResultsIn place of a scale score, a variety of report messages might appear in each subject area, indicating the student’s performance status or scoring information.

Possible messages are listed below. Changes in policy might result in different messages.

• NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE No information is available for this subject.

• NOT SCORED The student’s answer document or online record was coded “OTHER” for reasons such as illness during testing or test administration irregularities, or if the student was assessed above grade level (e.g., a grade 7 student took a grade 8 assessment).

• NOT TESTED—ABSENT The student was absent during the test.

• NOT SCORED—PREVIOUSLY ACHIEVED Student achieved Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, or Masters Grade Level performance in a previous administration.

Q. Previous Year Test ResultsThe left column of the graph shows the student’s previous year scale score as well as the performance level that the student’s scale score falls into. From the bottom to the top, the four performance levels are Did Not Meet Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level.

R. Current Year Test ResultsThe right column of the graph shows the student’s current year scale score as well as the performance level that the student’s scale score falls into. From the bottom to the top, the four performance levels are Did Not Meet Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level.

S. Math Badge IndicatorThe mathematics badge indicator is added for eligible students in grades 5, 6, and 7. The badge will be placed on the STAAR report card to inform parents that there is enough supporting evidence in their child’s assessment history to indicate that their child is ready to meaningfully engage in advanced mathematics course materials such as those in Algebra I coursework.

T. Algebra I ResultsStudents in grades 7 and 8 who took the Algebra I test during the spring administration will have their Algebra I results shown on their STAAR report card along with the other grade-level assessments they took during the STAAR grades 3-8 administration.

FIRSTNAME'S UNIQUE ACCESS

CODE 3V6H2GFrom the CommissionerTests are a part of life. Our kids will take tests to get a driver's license, to get into college, and even to get certain jobs. As a parent of four myself, I know that no one test can tell me everything about my children. But the STAAR tests have been designed to provide useful information about how much our children have learned academically and how well prepared they are for what comes next.

Students who meet or master grade level by high school graduation have more than a 60% chance of passing their college classes, substantially increasing their lifetime earnings and prospects for success. This report is intended to give you information on how well your child learned this year's academic material in school and how you can help them learn even more.

Mike Morath, Commissioner of Education

What the Results MeanThis report shows how well your child did on the STAAR. There are four levels of performance.

MASTERSGRADE LEVELMastery of the course knowledge and skills is shown — student is on track for college and career readiness.

MEETSGRADE LEVELStrong knowledge of course content — student is prepared to progress to the next grade.

APPROACHESGRADE LEVELSome knowledge of course content but may be missing critical elements — student needs additional support in the coming year.

DID NOT MEETGRADE LEVELNo basic understanding of course expectations is shown — student may need significant support in the coming year.

Maximize Time During Parent Teacher Conferences

Sample Questions to Ask the Teacher:• What do you see as my child’s strengths?• What does my child seem to be the most interested in at school?• Does my child get along well with their classmates?• What is the most important thing that I can be doing to prepare my

child for high school?• Is my child giving his/her best effort?• What could my child be doing that he/she is not already doing?• What do you think are the biggest challenges for my child, and how

can I help him/her with those challenges?

RESOURCES TAILORED FOR FIRSTNAMEReading

Strategies to improve your child’s grade 8 reading understanding

Understanding/Analysis Across Genres

• Help your child plan and create a podcast. Explore different genres of podcasts, then plan and create your own!

• Point out and discuss instances where foreign phrases are used frequently in English, such as quid pro quo.

Understanding/Analysis of Literary Texts

• In works of literary (fiction) text, point out and discuss non-linear plot elements like flashbacks and foreshadowing with your child.

Understanding/Analysis of Informational Texts

• Read informational (nonfiction) texts with your child and discuss whether any opinions presented are substantiated (supported by evidence) or unsubstantiated (not supported by evidence).

Writing: Composition, Revision and Editing

• Challenge your child to randomly choose fifteen words from a dictionary and use those words to write a story.

MathematicsStrategies to improve your child’s grade 8 math understanding

Numerical Representations and Relationships

• Have your child find a number between 100 and 225 and approximate the square root of that number.

• Have your child find numbers in everyday life and have them categorize them as real numbers, integers, etc.

Computations and Algebraic Relationships

• When taking a trip, whether to the store or on vacation, have your child create a map indicating how long it will take to travel a quarter of the way, half way, three quarters of the way, and all the way there. Have your child compare these times to the actual time it takes.

Geometry and Measurement

• Have your child find the volume of an everyday object, such as a can of soup.

• Have your child measure the length and the diagonal of a table and use the Pythagorean theorem to find the width.

Data Analysis and Personal Financial Literacy

• Have your child find the amount of simple interest that is earned when a certain amount of money is invested at a percentage for one year.

• Have your child locate or create scatterplots from everyday events and draw a trend line beginning at (0,0) through the data points and make a prediction about data not represented by a point plotted on the graph.

FIRSTNAME'S UNIQUE ACCESS

CODE 3V6H2GFrom the CommissionerTests are a part of life. Our kids will take tests to get a driver's license, to get into college, and even to get certain jobs. As a parent of four myself, I know that no one test can tell me everything about my children. But the STAAR tests have been designed to provide useful information about how much our children have learned academically and how well prepared they are for what comes next.

Students who meet or master grade level by high school graduation have more than a 60% chance of passing their college classes, substantially increasing their lifetime earnings and prospects for success. This report is intended to give you information on how well your child learned this year's academic material in school and how you can help them learn even more.

Mike Morath, Commissioner of Education

What the Results MeanThis report shows how well your child did on the STAAR. There are four levels of performance.

MASTERSGRADE LEVELMastery of the course knowledge and skills is shown — student is on track for college and career readiness.

MEETSGRADE LEVELStrong knowledge of course content — student is prepared to progress to the next grade.

APPROACHESGRADE LEVELSome knowledge of course content but may be missing critical elements — student needs additional support in the coming year.

DID NOT MEETGRADE LEVELNo basic understanding of course expectations is shown — student may need significant support in the coming year.

Maximize Time During Parent Teacher Conferences

Sample Questions to Ask the Teacher:• What do you see as my child’s strengths?• What does my child seem to be the most interested in at school?• Does my child get along well with their classmates?• What is the most important thing that I can be doing to prepare my

child for high school?• Is my child giving his/her best effort?• What could my child be doing that he/she is not already doing?• What do you think are the biggest challenges for my child, and how

can I help him/her with those challenges?

2021 TEXAS STUDENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM INTERPRETING ASSESSMENT REPORTS 2.27

Summary ReportExample shown: STAAR Grade 3 Mathematics, STAAR Grade 4 Writing

The Summary Report is available for each grade assessed at each campus and district and contains aggregate information about every student for whom an answer document or online record was submitted.

Available: STAAR STAAR Spanish

Test results NOT included in the reporting-category-level and written composition constructed-response results of the reports: - STAAR with Embedded Supports paper administrations - Braille - American Sign Language video

A.

Campus or District Identification InformationThe top of the report contains identification information for the campus or district. The grade assessed, subject area, date of testing, and report date are also indicated. The program logo in the upper-left corner of the summary reports indicates the program (STAAR or STAAR Spanish).

B. Administration SummaryThis section of the report lists the number and percentage of students who were assessed, the number and percentage of students who were not assessed (broken down by students who were absent and other), and total number of documents submitted.

C. LegendTo maintain student confidentiality, no data are reported if fewer than five students were assessed. The legend indicates this by showing “---.”

D. Demographic Groups and Program InformationDemographic and program categories are listed on the left side of this section. Results for students for whom no demographic or program information was available are included in the “No Information Provided” categories.

E. Number of Students TestedThe number of students tested is provided for each program and demographic group.

G.

Did Not Meet, Approaches, Meets, and Masters Grade LevelThe number and percentage of students who achieved the Did Not Meet, Approaches, Meets, and Masters Grade Level performance are displayed for each program and demographic group.

Masters Grade Level indicates that students demonstrate mastery of the course knowledge and skills. They are on-track to be successful in the next grade or course. Meets Grade Level indicates that students demonstrate strong knowledge of course content. They are prepared to progress to the next grade. Approaches Grade Level indicates that students demonstrate some knowledge of course content, but may be missing critical elements. They need additional support in the coming year. Did Not Meet Grade Level indicates that the students demonstrate no basic understanding of course expectations. They may need significant support in the coming year. Refer to Performance Standards in the Program Overview for additional information about these standards.

H. Results for Each Reporting CategoryThese columns summarize reporting-category-level data for all scored assessments. For each reporting category, the average number (#) and the percentage (%) of items students answered correctly are calculated. The average number of items correct is the total number of items correct divided by the total number of students assessed. The average percentage of items correct is the average total number of items correct divided by the total number of items assessed.

I. Written Composition SummaryThe STAAR writing assessments include essays with scores ranging from 0 to 8. The number of possible points for each essay item is 8 for grade 4 and 16 for grade 7. The average number of points in the first column should be interpreted as the average number of points scored for all scored assessments for each demographic group. The percentage scored in the second column should be interpreted as the average points scored converted to a percentage for each demographic group. Detailed rubric and score point information can be found in the scoring guides on TEA’s Student Assessment Division webpage.

J. Process NumberThe process number found in the bottom-right corner of the report is a unique number, per administration, that is assigned to the report by the testing contractor. Refer to this number if questions arise about the report.
