Updated Preliminary Longitudinal Cohorts on TEAL

November 4, 2021

 

TO THE ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESSED:

 

The confidential (unmasked) preliminary longitudinal cohort reports for your district have been updated to reflect 2020-21 data and are now available through the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) Accountability application under the Research & Analysis tab. Individual student information is confidential under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). These reports are confidential and are intended for district use only. 

 

The agency builds the high school longitudinal rates used for accountability, monitoring, and reporting purposes from student-level cohort groups based on a student's first-time ninth grade year. The preliminary cohort lists are being provided to you for information and planning purposes only. No action is required on your part. You are advised to use the lists to help you determine in what year a student is expected to graduate for district planning, agency reporting, and accountability purposes. The preliminary cohort lists provide cohort membership information and selected demographic and characteristic information only. Final student statuses are not provided.

 

Please share the information provided in this email with your high school principals, PEIMS coordinators, and other relevant staff as they will not receive a separate copy of this information.

 

If you have questions about your preliminary longitudinal cohort lists, please call (512) 475-3523 or email research@tea.texas.gov.
