GR1

LEAs report data on all students they served in grades 7-12 during the prior school year. Students in special education and other special, ungraded, or state-approved alternate programs are included.  Students who enroll in private school or leave for home schooling are reported; also included are students who fail to re-enroll in the fall. 


A school leaver who is not enrolled in the LEA in the school-start window of the current year is reported with a LEAVER-REASON-CODE.  Students who finished the school year and did not return in the fall within the school-start window are also reported with a LEAVER-REASON-CODE unless the student is identified by TEA as:

  1. Having earned a GED certificate at a Texas examination site by August 31st,
  2. Students considered school-year movers because they enrolled in other Texas public school LEAs, or
  3. Accounted for by other state reconciliation processes. 


A mover is a a student who moves from one Texas public school district to enroll in another Texas public school district.  Note: the final determination of whether a student is a mover is made at TEA.


Students who graduated during the prior school year, including summer graduates up through August 31st are reported in Submission 1.  To graduate, students must satisfy the requirements under 19 TAC, Section 74, Subchapter B.  Special education students must satisfy requirements under 19 TAC, Section 89.1070. 


Students who complete a GED program are not reported as graduates.


Students who have previously completed all graduation requirements in one school year, but do not pass the exit-level TAAS, TAKS or STAAR® until the next year, are reported as graduates in the year in which the TAAS, TAKS or STAAR® test was passed.
