2011-12 AEIS Reports Now Available

Texas recently released the 2011-12 Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report.  You can access the data here:  

This report does not have results on students' performances on the State of Texas Assessments for Academic Readiness (STAAR) exams, "since performance standards have not been determined yet for the grades 3–8 STAAR assessments."  

You can access student test results for the spring and summer 2012 STAAR end-of-course (EOC) assessments at the state, region, district, and campus levels here.

Below is a look at changes (from 2010-11 to 2011-12) in student demographics and a few other key categories.  Stay tuned for additional information regarding Texas' educational standing.
