TEA suppresses groups small enough to identify a student; those cells are omitted here, so a group missing from a campus or district had too few test-takers to report — it did not score nothing.","Rates are TEA's published percentages, never recomputed from the numerator and denominator: TEA rounds before publishing and dividing them back gives a different number from the one on TEA's own page.","Campus records carry SUBJECTS; student-group results are published at district grain only. Campus-by-group cells are mostly masked, and a table of blanks with a few identifiable children in it is worse than no table.","No campus is ranked against a campus in another district. The finding is the spread INSIDE a district; a statewide campus league table is a far more dangerous artefact.","Teacher CERTIFICATION is not published in TAPR's staff dataset and is not here. A degree is not a certificate, and the degree mix must not be presented as an answer to 'are the teachers certified'.","Two statewide figures are published per group and they are not interchangeable. `meets` is test-weighted — the share of TEXAS TESTS that met the bar. `meets_district_mean` is the unweighted average of district rates, which is what the equity layer reports. On all students they read about 49.7% and 46.5%: the first says how the typical student did, the second how the typical district did, and neither is wrong.","Campus-level teacher TURNOVER is likewise not in this dataset. Beginning-teacher share and average tenure are published instead, and they are related but not the same measure."]},"groups":{"all":{"tests":8077506,"meets":49.7,"meets_district_mean":46.4,"districts_counted":1204},"african_american":{"tests":1016231,"meets":37.8,"meets_district_mean":35.8,"districts_counted":840},"white":{"tests":1982854,"meets":63.2,"meets_district_mean":54.3,"districts_counted":1130},"hispanic":{"tests":4332521,"meets":42.6,"meets_district_mean":41.6,"districts_counted":1160},"two_or_more":{"tests":250473,"meets":57.4,"meets_district_mean":50.3,"districts_counted":886},"asian":{"tests":447765,"meets":81.0,"meets_district_mean":70.3,"districts_counted":522},"male":{"tests":4158873,"meets":48.7,"meets_district_mean":45.8,"districts_counted":1204},"female":{"tests":3918290,"meets":50.7,"meets_district_mean":47.3,"districts_counted":1200},"special_ed":{"tests":1372985,"meets":23.1,"meets_district_mean":20.9,"districts_counted":1195},"econ_disadv":{"tests":4835322,"meets":38.8,"meets_district_mean":39.1,"districts_counted":1198},"at_risk":{"tests":4350769,"meets":30.3,"meets_district_mean":28.3,"districts_counted":1197},"emergent_bilingual":{"tests":1905577,"meets":31.4,"meets_district_mean":29.4,"districts_counted":1084},"gifted":{"tests":907052,"meets":89.1,"meets_district_mean":88.0,"districts_counted":1032},"american_indian":{"tests":22317,"meets":48.5,"meets_district_mean":46.1,"districts_counted":404},"pacific_islander":{"tests":12231,"meets":49.5,"meets_district_mean":51.9,"districts_counted":252}}}
