Federal Report Cards

 
 
 
Texas School for the Deaf is sharing this information about the district (TSD) and the State as part of its obligations under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA).
 
Federal Report Cards for the state and the district are now available on TSD’s website and are also available on the Texas Education Agency’s website at: https://tea.texas.gov/Finance_and_Grants/Grants/Federal_Report_Card/.
 
Please keep in mind that although we receive federal Title 1 funds, we do not use the state assessment (STAAR) to measure TSD’s accountability. We use Measuring Academic Progress (MAP) scores for that purpose. If you have any questions about TSD’s assessment program, please contact our TSD MTSS Coordinator at [email protected].
 
The chart below explains what is typically included in each section of the report.  It is important to note, that TSD is not required to report all of the data listed below.  Where TSD data is included, you will see a (CHECK).  Additionally, if the data reported reflects a very small number of students, you may see an * to ensure student confidentiality.
