# Getting Started With Axiom

Eduphoria is excited to provide an amazing accountability tool, Axiom. Use this article, our [Axiom FAQ](/v1/docs/axiom-faq), and [Region 10's Axiom Users Site](https://sites.google.com/region10.org/axiomusers2022/home?authuser=0) to get started and learn more about this feature.

For pricing information or to add Axiom to Aware, contact [sales@eduphoria.net.](mailto:sales@eduphoria.)Contact your district Eduphoria Manager to find out whether Axiom is a feature your district has purchased.

District-level users with the **Analyze Accountability Data** right for all schools can harness Axiom’s various features with an active license.

## Grant Accountability Access

Two levels exist for granting accountability access: assigning the specific right and determining Axiom reporting access for school leaders.

### Assign the Analyze Accountability Data Right

Within **Management**, a system administrator can assign the **Analyze Accountability Data** right in Aware to any district-level user who manages accountability data. Be sure there is a green check mark next to the right to grant the user access to all schools within their district.

The **Analyze Accountability Data** right is associated with the **Principal** role and automatically allows users to view accountability data on the **Axiom** screen for their assigned school(s).

Calculations for the entire district are displayed by default.

To change to a specific school, select the **District** drop-down arrow and select a school from the list. A school’s view displays calculations for that school only.

![Drop-down menu showing the district level and various schools to select.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/choose%20district%20or%20school.png)

### Hide and Show Axiom Reporting From School Leaders

A district-level user can select the three vertical dots ( more_vert ) from the Axiom home screen, then select **Hide Report from School Leaders** ( visibility_off ) to prevent school leaders, such as principals, from seeing the Axiom screen.

![Menu options for Axiom District analysis, including hiding reporting from school leaders.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/hide%20report%20from%20school%20leaders.png)

Select **Update Security** on the confirmation window to complete the change.

![Confirmation dialog asking to restrict report access from school leaders temporarily.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/update security confirmation.png)

To allow school leaders to view the Axiom screen, select the three vertical dots ( more_vert ) again and then select **Remove Visibility Restriction from School Leaders**( visibility ). Then, confirm you want to update security to finalize the change.

![Menu options with a highlighted item to remove visibility restrictions from school leaders.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/remove visibility restriction.png)

## View Student List

Using the three vertical dots ( more_vert ), select **View Student List** ( group ) to open a table view of students either from an entire district or within a specific school.

![Menu options highlighting the View Student List feature.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/view student list.png)

Engage various filters to create a more targeted list to view specific data. Once you’ve set your desired filters, select **Create Monitor Group** ( group_add ) to build a district-level, school-level, or personal Monitor Group in Aware. See [Filtering Student Domain 1 Data for Monitor Groups](/v1/docs/filtering-student-domain-1-data-for-monitor-groups) for more information.

## View Domain Summary

Select **View Domain Summary** ( stars ) from the three vertical dots ( more_vert ) to open a table summarizing district and individual school domain data.

![Menu options highlighting the View Domain Summary feature.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/view domain summary.png)

The Domain Summary view allows you to download this simple report into a CSV file.

## **Ensuring All Data Is Imported**

Select **View Data Files** ( data_object ) from the three vertical dots ( more_vert ) to confirm that all data files have been imported.

![Menu options highlighting the View Data Files selection.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/view data files.png)

### **Reimporting Data Files**

In the event you need to reimport a data file because you are missing data or the most recent file version, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Analysis Settings** gear ( settings ) in **Aware**, select [**Upload Test Files**](/v1/docs/uploading-test-files-in-aware), then select the **History** tab.
2. Select all of this year’s state files, then select **Re-Import File**.
3. After reimporting, navigate to **Axiom**( insights ), then select **Recalculate** **All Data**( calculate ).

Ensure you have imported the following files into Aware:

- All SAT data files from Summer 2025 to Summer 2026
- STAAR Alternate 2 2026
- STAAR EOC Summer 2025 Administration
- STAAR EOC Fall 2025 Administration
- STAAR EOC Spring 2026 Administration
- STAAR Grades 3-8 Spring 2026 Administration
- TELPAS 2026
- TELPAS Alternate 2026
- 2025 SDR (SIRS) files for any students taking EOC exams in the 2025-26 cycle

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** SAT files are required for High School Domain 1 STAAR Component scores. ACT data files from Summer 2025 to Summer 2026 are recommended but not required.

The Consolidated Accountability File (CAF) is not necessary and not required for Axiom to work.

The Axiom home screen shows the last time a data recalculation occurred. This is most helpful to determine whether a recalculation might be necessary if the district has uploaded data recently.

## Recalculate Accountability Predictions

Select **Recalculate All Data** ( calculate ) from the three vertical dots ( more_vert ) on the Axiom home screen. This step reloads the data.

![Menu options highlighting the Recalculate All Data feature.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/recalculate all data.png)

You must **Recalculate All Data** if you

- import test files,
- re-import test files,
- modify campus settings,
- modify Domain 1 Components, or
- modify Domain 3 Components.

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:** Only click **Recalculate All Data** once; multiple clicks disrupt the calculation process.

If you import or reimport files or if Domain 1 data is added, a warning banner will appear, reminding you to Recalculate All Data. This does not mean you need to reimport STAAR files. Instead, you need to click Recalculate All Data.

> [!WARNING]
> **Caution:** As updates as made to the software and new data is provided in the data files, it is critical to **reimport all state test files** and then select **Recalculate All Data**. This is your first option when troubleshooting. Reimport, then recalculate.

## **Configure Schools**

Select **Configure Schools** ( school ) from the three vertical dots ( more_vert ) to add CCMR data or manually change the numbers or selections made. While the numbers here originate from TEA resources, you might have access to your most up-to-date, most accurate data for these fields and need to make changes accordingly.

![Menu options highlighting the Configure Schools feature.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/configure schools.png)

Select the **Upload CCMR Data** button ( upload ) to upload the CCMR CSV report from [TEAL](https://tealprod.tea.state.tx.us/).

Under the **Type** column, confirm that each school and district has the appropriate designation. Then, open the drop-down menu next to each school to make any necessary changes.

Adjust any information in the **Eco Dis %** column if needed. Check that the two lowest performing Racial/Ethnic Groups are correct in the **1st Group and 2nd Group** columns (order does not matter). Make any corrections using their respective drop-down menus.

![Configure Schools table displaying school data, including names, types, and enrollment statistics.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/configure schools(1).png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** For the 2026 accountability year, districts must configure the Previous Year ELP performance for Domain 3 for each school. TEA updated how the ELP for Domain 3 calculated ELP status, applied those updates to 2025 for data comparison purposes, and sent the updated scores to schools through TEAL. The publicly available Domain 3 scores were not updated with the new, recalculated ELP scores for 2025.

Select **More** under the **Actions** column to input Graduation Rate and CCMR information for each applicable campus. Type in Domain 1 and Domain 3 Components for the selected school or district.

![Data on graduation rates and college readiness for various student demographics.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/additional data(1).png)

Learn more about [locating and inputting Domain 1 and Domain 3 Components](/v1/docs/entering-domain-1-and-domain-3).

## **Domain 3 Student Lists**

To access Domain 3 student lists, select **Closing the Gaps** from the Axiom home screen.

![Performance summary showing overall scores and domain achievements for educational assessment.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/closing the gaps.png)

When analyzing **E.L. Proficiency** in **Domain 3: Closing the Gaps**, click on a number in the **Raw Pct** column to see a list of students who took the TELPAS/TELPAS Alt. Reviewing this column can help users identify specific student groups and troubleshoot potential gaps in Axiom calculations (such as missing imported data due to missing students).

![Detailed breakdown of school performance metrics including E.L. Proficiency scores.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/score detailed breakdown(1).png)

After clicking a percentage under Raw Pct, the user sees a list of all students who took TELPAS or TELPAS Alt. To see only the students included in the calculation, click **Show Only Qualifying**.

![A table displaying EL proficiency student data with the Show Only Qualifying option highlighted.](https://cdn.us.document360.io/d6ce927e-20b2-40ab-af8d-ea0afbbc28f7/Images/Documentation/show only qualifying.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Student lists generated from the Domain 3 table are not filterable.
