| (a) The commissioner of education shall determine the

standards established by the commissioner for state-developed assessments,
as required by the Texas Education Code, Chapter 39, Subchapter B,
for all grades, assessments, and subjects.
(b) The figures in this subsection identify the performance

(c) For students first enrolled in Grade 9 or below
in the 2011-2012 school year, the figures in this subsection identify
the performance standards established by the commissioner for the
STAAR® end-of-course (EOC) general and alternate assessments.
The standard in place when a student first takes an EOC assessment
is the standard that will be maintained on all EOC assessments throughout
the student's high school career.

(d) The Texas Education Agency shall post annually
to its website a 100-point score conversion table after the STAAR®
assessment spring administrations. The 100-point scale is defined
using percentiles, which represent the percentage of students across
the state that took the assessment and received a scale score less
than the scale score of interest. The percentile is based on the performance
of students who took the paper, online, Braille, and L versions of
the assessment during the spring administration of any given year.
(1) The following formula is used to calculate the
percentile p(S) for a scale score S: p(S) = x/N x 100.
(2) In the formula in paragraph (1) of this subsection, N is the total number of students who took
the tests, and x is the number of
students with scale scores less than S. If
the calculated percentile is not a whole number, then it is rounded
down to the closest whole number.
