TEA delays release of test results

Jun 13, 2016 | Community Relations
The Texas Education Agency is delaying the release of results for some of the STAAR tests administered in spring 2016.

This affects students who took the following assessments in March and May 2016:
• Grade 3: Math and Reading;
• Grade 4: Math, Reading and Writing;
• Grade 5: Science;
• Grade 6: Math and Reading;
• Grade 7: Math, Reading and Writing; and
• Grade 8: Science and Social Studies.
This does not affect the End of Course exams, nor the Reading and Math STAAR tests given to 5th- and 8th-graders. Results for those test have already been released.

TEA is delaying the release so the state’s new testing contractor can “…conduct additional quality-control checks and verifications to ensure that results for all students for which answer documents or online records were submitted are reported error-free...”

Lamar CISD will release results once they arrive in the District and are validated by our staff for accuracy. The results will be released through our Skyward family portal and, if needed, via direct mail delivery. Our goal is to have results to parents no later than the week of July 11, 2016.
Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s campus or the Lamar CISD Research, Assessment and Accountability Department at 832-223-0136 or via email at [email protected], if you have questions.



Estimados padres de familia y tutores:
La División de Evaluación de Estudiantes de la Agencia de Texas (Student Assessment Division of Texas Educacion Agency) notificó esta mañana a todos los distritos sobre el retraso de todos los resultados de los estudiantes de Non- Student Success Iniciative (SSI) para la administración de STARR de primavera del 2016 hasta el 5 de julio de 2016 (aproximadamente). Esto afecta a los estudiantes que tomaron las siguientes evaluaciones en marzo y mayo del 2016:

• Tercer Grado: Matemáticas y Lectura
• Cuarto Grado: Matemáticas, Lectura y Escritura
• Quinto Grado: Ciencias
• Sexto Grado: Matemáticas y Lectura
• Séptimo Grado: Matemáticas, Lectura y Escritura
• Octavo Grado: Estudios y Ciencias Sociales 

Este retraso ha sido solicitado por la Agencia para que la nueva empresa encargada de las pruebas del estado pueda:

 "... verificar y realizar controles de calidad adicionales para asegurar que los resultados de todos los registros en los documentos o registros en línea de los estudiantes no reportan errores...”

LCISD aprecia los esfuerzos de la Agencia y del Comisionado en asegurarse que los resultados de las evaluaciones de los estudiantes se presenten con exactitud y veracidad.  Los resultados se darán a conocer a los padres (a través de nuestro portal de Skyward) tan pronto lleguen al Distrito y sean verificados y validados por nuestro personal. De ser necesario, se entregarán por correo directo. Nuestro objetivo es dar a conocer los resultados a los padres a más tardar en la semana del 11 de julio de 2016.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor no dude en ponerse en contacto con la escuela de su hijo o con la oficina de  Investigación, Evaluación y Rendición de Cuentas de LCISD  (Research Assessment and Accountability Department) al 832-223-0136 o por correo electrónico a [email protected]
