How is a districts 1% cap on TAKS-Alt and 2% cap for TAKS-M calculated?
Determine the district’s total participation count, based on the school district’s total participation denominator for the Reading/English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics indicators separately. The AYP participation denominator is the number of students enrolled at the time of testing defined as the total number of assessment documents submitted by each school district for grades 3 – 8 and 10 only. Once this is done, use the appropriate calculation below for either the 1% cap for TAKS-Alt or 2% cap for TAKS-M: TAKS-Alt Limit = District Participation Denominator x .01 TAKS-M Limit = District Participation Denominator x .02 The federal cap process is conducted by subject, beginning with all reading assessment results. For example, most students will have two assessment results: one in Reading and one in Mathematics, and the student results may differ for Reading and Mathematics. The federal cap limits are determined by subject, and the Reading federal cap limit and Mathematics federa
