Updated annually, the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) serves as a one-stop resource for information on the performance of students in each campus and school system in Texas. This communication is to inform school systems about the release of the 2023–24 TAPR for school systems and campuses in the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) Accountability application, including a TAPR Glossary and TAPR Guidelines. The TAPR has also been publicly released in PDF format on the TAPR webpage. Public reports are available by campus, district, ESC region, and state-wide.
Key Information
The TAPR Glossary provides definitions and methodologies for all items included in the TAPR, while the TAPR Guidelines are designed to assist districts in meeting their legal responsibilities regarding the TAPR and the annual report on educational performance. All TAPR data available through TEAL and the public website are masked, and the Texas Education Agency (TEA) does not produce unmasked versions. This release of the TAPR does not include A–F ratings or Distinction Designations, as the issuance of A–F ratings under the 2024 rule remains pending and is subject to change.
About the TAPR
The PDF version of the TAPR provides key data points for public notification purposes, while the Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS) offers a more comprehensive dataset updated on a rolling basis. Districts will not receive printed copies of the TAPR; instead, reports can be saved or printed directly from TEAL or the public website.
Statutory Requirements
State law requires that each district’s board of trustees hold a public hearing to discuss the district’s annual report within 90 calendar days of receiving the PDF TAPR. This 90-day period begins on December 12, 2024, with holiday breaks excluded from the calculation. Following the public hearing, districts must widely publish their annual reports, including posting them on their websites and other public locations, within two weeks. Additional details can be found on the TEA Requirement for Posting of Performance FAQ webpage.
