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 checkmark next to the right to grant the user access at all schools within their district.

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

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

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

Ensuring All Data Is Imported

Select View Data Files from the three vertical dots to confirm that all data files have been imported.

Menu options highlighting the View Data Files selection.

Table displaying accountability data sources with various test types and statuses.

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 in Aware, select Upload Test Files, 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, then select Recalculate All Data.

Ensure you have imported the following files into Aware:

  • All SAT data files from Summer 2024 to Summer 2025

  • STAAR Alternate 2 2025

  • STAAR EOC Summer 2024 Administration

  • STAAR EOC Fall 2024 Administration

  • STAAR EOC Spring 2025 Administration

  • STAAR Grades 3-8 Spring 2025 Administration

  • TELPAS 2025

  • TELPAS Alternate 2025

  • 2024 SDR (SIRS) files for any students taking EOC exams in the 2024-25 cycle

Note: SAT files are required for High School Domain 1 STAAR Component scores. ACT data files from Summer 2024 to Summer 2025 are recommended but not required.

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

The Axiom landing page 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 from the three vertical dots on the Axiom home page. This step reloads the data.

Menu options highlighting the Recalculate All Data feature.

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.

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.

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 from the three vertical dots 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.

Select the Upload CCMR Data button to upload the CCMR CSV report from TEAL.

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.
