	District/Charter Operator Use	Campus Use (non-charter and charter)
Exemplary	Used for districts or charter operators with at least one TAKS test result (in any subject) in the accountability subset. Small numbers subject to Special Analysis.

Recognized
Academically Acceptable
Academically Unacceptable
Not Rated: Other	Used for districts or charter operators in the unlikely event that there is insufficient data to rate due to no TAKS results in the accountability subset.	Used if the campus: Has no students enrolled in grades higher than kindergarten. Has insufficient data to rate due to no TAKS results in the accountability subset. Has insufficient data to rate through Special Analysis due to very small numbers of TAKS results in the accountability subset. Is a designated Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) or a designated Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP).
Not Rated: Other	Used for charters if they are new and would otherwise be rated Academically Unacceptable. Used for districts/charters in the unlikely event that there is insufficient data to rate due to no TAKS results in the accountability subset.	Used if the campus (regular or charter): Has no students enrolled in grades higher than kindergarten. Is new and would otherwise be rated Academically Unacceptable. Has insufficient data to rate due to no TAKS results in the accountability subset. Is a designated Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) or a designated Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP).
Not Rated: Data Integrity Issues	Used in the rare situation where the accuracy and/or integrity of performance results are compromised and it is not possible to assign a rating label based on the evaluation of performance. This label may be assigned temporarily pending an on-site investigation or may be assigned as the final rating label for the year. This rating label is not equivalent to an Academically Unacceptable rating. The Commissioner of Education also has the authority to lower a rating or assign an Academically Unacceptable rating to address problems with the accuracy and/or integrity of performance results that are discovered through Accountability System Safeguards, Performance-Based Monitoring, or other monitoring and compliance reviews. Data quality is considered to be a district responsibility. It is possible for a district rating to be Not Rated: Data Integrity Issues without any of its campuses having that rating label. If any campus within a district receives a rating of Not Rated: Data Integrity Issues, then the district's rating will be affected. The district may receive a rating of Not Rated: Data Integrity Issues, either temporarily or permanently, or the district's rating could also be changed to Academically Unacceptable for data quality reasons.
