The first three listings display summary data for each Texas public school campus and district, organized by county. Table 1 includes, for each district and campus: (a) the total number of graduates in the class of 2005; (b) the number and percentage of graduates who took the SAT; (c) the mean SAT Mathematics, Verbal, and combined scores of SAT examinees; and (d) the number and percentage of examinees with SAT combined scores that meet TEA’s Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) criterion score. Table 2 contains the same information for the ACT, with mean English, Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Composite scores. The AEIS criterion scores are 1110 for the SAT and 24 for the ACT. Table 3 contains information for the AEIS indicators based on results for either the SAT or ACT. Included in Table 3 are: (a) the total number of graduates; (b) the number and percentage of graduates who took the SAT and/or ACT; and (c) the number and percentage of SAT- and/or ACT-tested graduates scoring at or above the criterion score on either test. In Tables 1-3, SAT and ACT participation and performance data for districts and campuses with fewer than five graduates are removed to protect student confidentiality. This precaution ensures that single sets of scores cannot be identified or linked with any individual. In these cases "<5t" appears in place of the actual value, with "t" referring to a small number of students tested. In addition, districts and campuses with five or more examinees but fewer than five scores of 1110 or above for SAT or 24 or above for ACT receive the note, "<5h." When it is possible for these score data to be arithmetically inferred from other district- or campus-level data, additional masking is employed using intervals of five students, and a note such as the following appears: "<10m," "<15m," "<20m," etc. College Admissions Examinations by District Characteristic In the final table, SAT and ACT results have been summarized by a variety of district characteristics. For each of 25 district characteristics, Table 4 shows: (a) the mean SAT combined score; (b) the mean ACT Composite score; (c) the percentage of graduates tested on the SAT and/or the ACT; and (d) the percentage of examinees scoring at or above criterion in 2005. In addition, these four values are presented for the state as a whole and provided at the bottom of the last page. Information on the 25 district characteristics is based on data from TEA’s Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). Characteristics include student enrollment, district type, the percentage of students passing the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), and the percentage of teachers with an advanced degree. Although the number of subcategories within each characteristic is consistent from year to year, the range represented by a subcategory may change. All 2 College Admissions Testing of Graduating Seniors in Texas High Schools, Class of 2005 data on Table 4 are for the 2005 graduating class, with the exception of college admissions data, which lag one year behind.
