    The Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) pull together a wide range of information on the performance of students in each school and district in Texas every year. Performance is shown disaggregated by student groups, including ethnicity and low income status.

    • Participation in the STAAR tests;
    • Results of the Student Success Initiative;
