Spring 2023 Statewide Item Analysis Reports
Statewide item analysis reports for the spring 2023 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), STAAR Alternate 2, and the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) will be posted to the Texas Education Agency’s website on August 22. These reports show the item number, the reporting category measured by the item, and the percentage of students selecting each possible answer for that item.

2023 TELPAS Administration
On August 22, 2023, districts will receive updated versions of the final TELPAS reports for accountability. These final assessment reports will include any student updates processed since July 25, including updated rescore appeals and student information corrections submitted before August 4. These updates will be reflected in the consolidated accountability file (CAF) that will be delivered to districts in September. Not all districts will have updates from the original assessment reports. But all districts will receive an updated administration data file, district and campus summary reports, and campus rosters. Electronic copies of student labels and student report cards are posted for students whose results have been affected.

June 2023 STAAR Administration
Final assessment results for accountability, including updated student report cards and data files, for the June 2023 STAAR administration will be posted to the Secure File Center on August 31, 2023. Final assessment results for the June administration will be available in the Family and Analytic Portals on September 5.

Annual System Rollover
Online systems for the Texas Assessment Program will be offline through 1:00 a.m. (CT) August 28, 2023, to complete a system rollover. This includes the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE), the Centralized Reporting System (CRS), and the Test Delivery System (TDS). District testing personnel should download any data files or certifications needed prior to August 18. All student data will be cleared from the TIDE, including rosters, and students will need to be added to TIDE for the 2023–2024 school year. In addition, user passwords must be reset. Practice tests will continue to be accessible in guest mode, and the Secure File Center and the Learning Management System (LMS) will be available for registered users through the Testing Personnel page of the Texas Assessment website.
