Assessments of Course Performance (ACPs) are a collaborative product of the Assessment Department and Teaching and Learning. ACPs are used each semester in grades 6 through 12 as part of the student summative evaluation. ACPs are created for courses in Mathematics, Reading/Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, English-as-a Second Language (ESL), World Languages, Visual & Performing Arts, Technology, Health, and Physical Education.

Test results are summarized and presented on MyData Portal. District and campus administrators as well as teachers use the ACP results to make instructional decisions. Per Board Policy, ACPs are a part of the course and represent 15% of a semester grade in high school and 10% of a semester grade in middle school.

ACPs have a time limit of 120 minutes and will be administered online in the Dallas Assessment Navigator (DAN) platform.

ACPs will also include multiple choice and technology-enhanced items.

(Quarterly and Fast Track)

District high schools offering approved early college and accelerated curriculum programs will use ACPs as the final exams for the core subjects.

What are Quarterly and Fast Track ACPs?

Quarterly ACP testing is reserved for early college high schools. The core ACPs are scheduled after 9-week learning cycles to accommodate a blended high school and college curriculum. The Assessment Department provides the testing materials and scoring based on enrollment. The respective college campuses accommodate the college-level coursework and testing requirements.

Fast-Track ACPs are taken for accelerated curriculum plans. Students complete one semester within each learning cycle. A full-year of course credit is earned within one semester in designated high school Math or Science courses. Students must meet eligibility requirements and choose to enroll in Fast-Track courses. The Assessment Department provides the testing materials and scoring based on enrollment.

District-wide Scheduling


Quarterly and Fast-Track ACPs are embedded within the district-wide testing schedule. Both will follow the testing windows below. Campus Test Coordinators will serve as the leads to facilitate the tests.

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Career Exploration Program is a free program offered by the Department of Defense that consists of:
  • The ASVAB multiple aptitude test
  • Interest Self-Assessment
  • Career Exploration

Laws and Rules

Senate Bill (SB) 1843 (85th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2017) authorizes that each school year, each school district and open-enrollment charter school is required to provide students in grades 10 through 12 an opportunity to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test and consult with a military recruiter. School districts and open-enrollment charter schools must:
  • Schedule the test during normal school hours; and
  • Schedule the test at a time that limits conflict with extracurricular activities.
Additionally, SB 1843 requires that school districts and open enrollment charter schools communicate the date, time and location of testing to students and their parent/guardians.

Who registers the campus for testing?

Campus Testing Coordinators will work collaboratively with campus administration, school counselors and campus ROTC representatives to schedule a testing date for the campus. 2024-2025 campus dates are tentatively scheduled for November 1-22, 2024.

How can students sign-up to be tested?

ASVAB CEP participation is ALWAYS voluntary. Students in grades 10-12 and college students are invited to participate. ASVAB CEP results give students a current snapshot of their skill levels so they may improve performance on high-stakes standardized tests. Students may register to test by speaking with their campus counselor.

How are results reported?

Each school determines if and when ASVAB results are forwarded to the military recruiting services by selecting one of eight score release options. Participants have no obligation to talk to a military recruiter or enter military service. Schools determine and coordinate score release options with parents and Education Service Specialists. If parents prefer a different score release option, they can visit www.asvabprogram.com and download the appropriate form.

How is testing conducted?

The Assessment Department will provide norm-referenced reading and mathematics testing for students currently in grades 1-11 who apply for admission to the Dallas ISD Magnet Program and who do not have norm-or criterion-referenced test scores from the previous school year. Specifically, the services are provided to students who are applying for admission to academy (elementary), vanguard (middle), and magnet (high) schools who meet the following criteria: students currently enrolled in private, parochial,or other schools, and students currently enrolled in Dallas ISD.

How do students apply for testing?

Parents of out of-district students in grades 1-11 must register for testing through the academy, vanguard or magnet high school to which they are applying by the posted deadlines.

All applicants must provide the following information: name, ID number, current grade level, date of birth, current school, parent/guardian phone number, and preferred test date. Schools must submit a list of registered students for testing with the required information to LetLozano@dallsisd.org by the registration deadline(s).

For students applying to a magnet school with NNAT3 as part of the on-campus assessment process:

The Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test® (NNAT®3) is used as an assessment tool for Gifted/Talented identification and assessment. If your child is tested for the NNAT3 during the identification process for Talented and Gifted, the score will be used for any magnet school applications submitted during the 2024-2025 school year. Students will not be allowed additional NNAT3 testing opportunities as part of the magnet assessment.

Magnet School Testing flyer - (Click Here)

NNAT3 One-Pager Reference - | English Version | Spanish Version

What is the cost?

Assessment costs for students who live outside Dallas ISD attendance zone is $100.00. Payment must be made on the date of testing with a money order or cashier's check made payable to Dallas Independent School District. All students/parents must provide valid identification and proof of residency to test (i.e., utility bill or telephone bill). The address on the identification and proof of residency must be the same as the one that was used to make application for magnet school. Otherwise, a notarized document will be required for verification.

Where are the designated testing sites?

The testing site for out-of-district students in grades 1-11 will be at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center, located 1201 E 8th St, Dallas, TX 75203. Students should arrive no later than 8:30 am to the designated site. Testing will begin at 9:00 am and should be completed by noon.

What is NAEP?

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest nationally representative, continuing evaluation of the condition of education in the United States. It has served as a national yardstick of student achievement since 1969. NAEP informs the public about what American students know and can do in various subject areas and compares achievement among states, large urban districts, and various student groups.

The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) program was first funded by Congress in 2002. Through this program, NAEP has collected and reported student achievement data for participating large urban districts every other year since 2003. As congressional funding and interest in the program have increased, the number of districts voluntarily participating has grown to 27. Dallas has been a participating district since 2010 and is one of four Texas districts.

Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2)




The Texas Success Initiative Assessment 2.0 (TSIA2), a redesign of the original Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA1), is part of the Texas Success Initiative enacted by the Texas State Legislature and was designed to assess test takers readiness for college-level coursework in the general areas of English language arts and reading (ELAR) and mathematics. Unless exempt, entering college students are required to take tests in ELAR and mathematics, which either classify them as college ready or provide a diagnosis to 1) facilitate entry into the appropriate developmental education course or 2) support co-enrollment in a developmental education course and an entry-level, credit-bearing course within the same semester.

If you're not ready for college-level courses, the tests help determine what types of courses or intervention will best prepare you for college-level work. You take TSIA2 tests on a computer and, depending on school policy, may get your results immediately after you finish the test.

Appropriate Use

TSIA2 was designed and scaled specifically to assess the academic knowledge and skills of entering undergraduate students in ELAR and mathematics. The college readiness classification test components of TSIA2 were designed to be administered to all entering undergraduate students, and the scores from these tests are intended to be used for college placement purposes. Course placement scores were developed and decided on by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB).

Computer Adaptive

Testing Computer-adaptive testing (CAT) is a mode of test administration that attempts to select test questions that better match a test taker's ability. All TSIA2 tests, except for the Essay Test, are computer adaptive.

Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) assessments will no longer be administered. Students for whom TAKS is a graduation requirement, including former TAAS and TEAMS examinees, may pursue the following options to receive a Texas high school diploma.


1). Request a district decision. A former student should contact the school district where he or she was last enrolled to request a district decision regarding whether the examinee qualifies to graduate and receive a high school diploma. More information about this option can be found in the proposed rule Texas Administrative Code §74.1027.

2). Achieve satisfactory performance on an alternate assessment. The alternate assessments allowed for TAKS are SAT, ACT, TSI, and STAAR. Former TAKS, TAAS, and TEAMS examinees should take only the appropriate part of the alternate assessment he or she needs to fulfill testing graduation requirements. More information is available in the Texas Administrative Code §101.4003.

Alternate Assessment Standards Chart

If you are a former student, and would like more information about your options, you may contact TC Support (972) 925-8940 or via email at TCSupport@dallasisd.org.
