STAAR Grades 3-8 Results Explanation
 TEA will not provide performance standards until
January 2013.
 When setting performance standards, scale scores
are calculated which is a conversion of the raw score
onto a scale that takes into account the difficulty level
of the specific set of questions used on a test in any
given year.
 The average number of items correct (raw scores)
were provided at the state and district level.
 The information provided is designed to help the
Board understand where the district stands relative to
the State.
