Index 1 provides a snapshot of student performance across all subjects, Index 2 measures year-to-year student improvement, Index 3 emphasizes the academic achievement of certain student groups, and Index 4 emphasizes the importance of a high school diploma for success in postsecondary life. Additionally, distinction designations highlight achievement in specific areas by those districts and campuses that earn a Met Standard rating. Finally, system safeguards ensure that³in an aggregated district or campus report³substandard performance in one or more areas or by one or more student groups is not disguised by higher performance in other areas or by other student groups. The State of Texas More than five million students were enrolled in Texas public schools in the 2016²17 school year, and they took more than eight and one-half million STAAR assessments in reading, mathematics, writing, science, and social studies.

  • The University of Texas at Austin
    The University of Texas at Austin Report to the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives on the Implementation of SB 175, 81st Legislature For the period ending Fall 2016 December 31, 2016 As the state’s flagship, The University of Texas at Austin seeks to transform lives for the benefit of society and, in so doing, to contribute to the state’s ability to maintain an educated workforce and populace. The university is committed to delivering an educational experience of the highest quality, which requires exposure to a diverse student body. A diverse educational environment serves all Texans. Through teaching and research, the university is a place where any Texan, adequately prepared and properly motivated, can receive a world-class education. By enrolling a population that represents all geographic regions, all races and ethnicities, and all income levels, the university helps the state to establish a citizenry ready to deal with future demands and challenges. The University of Texas at Austin has built effective systems and programs—enhanced by the work of dedicated educators and administrators—that make it possible for us to identify and enroll the best and brightest young Texans. This report is one in a series that offers evidence of the progress the university has made through these efforts in meeting its goals of diversity and excellence, and of the continuing work yet to be accomplished. BACKGROUND In the mid-1990s, the admissions landscape across Texas changed as a result of legal challenges, primarily Hopwood vs Texas, to the university’s admissions practices and policies.
