The Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) pulls together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. The performance indicators included in the AEIS Report are:

· Results of Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS*); by grade, by subject, and by all grades tested;
· Participation in the statewide assessment programs (TAKS/TAKS(Accommodated)/TAKS-M/TAKS-Alt);
· Exit-level TAKS Cumulative Passing Rates;
· Progress of Prior Year TAKS Failers;
· Results of Student Success Initiative;
· Attendance Rates;
· Annual Dropout Rates (grades 7-8, grades 7-12, and grades 9-12);
· Completion Rates (4-year longitudinal);
· College Readiness Indicators;
o Completion of Advanced / Dual Enrollment Courses;
o Completion of the Recommended High School Program or Distinguished Achievement Program;
o Participation and Performance on Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) Examinations;
o College-Ready Graduates;
o Texas Success Initiative (TSI) – Higher Education Readiness Component; and
o Participation and Performance on the College Admissions Tests (SAT and ACT).

Performance on each of these indicators is shown disaggregated by ethnicity, sex, special education, low income status, limited English proficient status, and at risk status (district only). The reports also provide extensive information on school and district staff, finances, programs and student demographics.
