Phase 1
Adv
Lizette was 5 questions
above the cut score. She
probably won’t be
considered a bubble kid,
but she did not meet
progress.
Rebecca was
and continues
to be a “bubble
kid,” and she
met growth.
Weren’t worried
about Isaiah. He
did well on the
G3 test. While he
passed this year,
he had a negative
gain score.
Kylie passed both years
and had greater than 82
points growth.

How to Use STAAR Progress Measure
Looking Forward

Project individual student progress for the next year

Use the latest STAAR individual students results

Use the Table 1 Values for Computing STAAR Progress Measures

Calculate needed scale score for “Met” progress and “Exceeded” progress

Use the raw score conversion tables to determine a close number of questions
needed.

Remember the raw score associated with a scale score can fluctuate from year-to-year
How to Use STAAR Progress Measure
Looking Forward


Pull individual student data

Raw score

Scale score

Met status

Advanced status
Export to Excel and add columns

Rank order students by raw score from lowest to highest

“new” scale score if Level I or II in prior year (add the number of points found in
the Table 1 – Computing STAAR Progress Measures)

“new” scale score if Level III in prior year (add the number of points found in the
Table 1 – Computing STAAR Progress Measures)

Add columns with the scale scores and associated number of questions (in that
order) from the appropriate prior year Raw Score Conversion table and name the
area (separate sheet or separate area of page)

With this “new” scale score you can use the VLOOKUP function in Excel to
determine the threshold number of questions correct.
1. Select scale and raw score information and name it here. For example: conv_read
2. Add the points for new scale score
Remember
to denote
the Chance
Scores
3. VLOOKUP command
=VLOOKUP(H3,conv_read,2) and apply the formula downward until you
reach lines where the students had advanced performance.
Proceed the
same way with
the Met Level II
Prior Yr column
and the
Exceeded
column
Remember to
denote the Top
Score range
Helps students and
teachers see about
how many questions
they need to have
correct to meet
progress and how
many additional
questions they need
to exceed!
