What we do with the STAAR report
ScoreMap reads raw domain scores directly from your child's STAAR report. We do not modify, interpret, or estimate any score. Every number you see came directly from the STAAR document.
How domain performance levels are calculated
TEA publishes overall scale score thresholds for Masters, Meets, Approaches, and Did Not Meet. We apply those same four tiers to individual domain percentages (e.g., 21/26 = 81%). Domain-level thresholds are ScoreMap's interpretation applied at the domain level — TEA publishes thresholds for the overall test, not individual domains.
Why we break out individual domains
A student can score Masters overall while having one domain at Meets. The overall score hides that detail. Domain breakdown is the core value ScoreMap provides — it shows exactly where to focus.
What each STAAR domain covers
Reading Comprehension — main ideas, inference, vocabulary in context
Written Composition — organization, word choice, structure, conventions
Numerical Representations — place value, fractions, number relationships
Computations & Algebraic Relationships — multiplication, division, multi-step problems, algebraic thinking
Geometry & Measurement — shapes, area, perimeter, measurement
Data & Financial Literacy — graphs, data sets, financial concepts
Book and Khan Academy recommendations
Books are matched to your child's Lexile score. Khan Academy modules are mapped to each STAAR domain by grade level. Neither is AI-generated — they come from our curated database.
What AI generates
The narrative interpretation, roadmap activities, and student letter are generated by Claude (Anthropic). Every number must match the STAAR report — we validate this automatically. AI never generates book titles, percentages, or statistics.
