AAR Minimum Standards (Field Mapping)
Overview
The TEA Academic Achievement Record guidelines require LEAs to report the academic achievement record (AAR) of students who have completed the Foundation High School Program (FHSP). The year in which a student enters 9th grade determines the graduation requirements they must complete to receive a high school diploma. The AAR form serves as the academic record for each student and must be maintained permanently by the LEA.
The Aeries Transcripts page allows you to generate a student AAR which displays a student's previous year grade history, student ranking, and calculated GPAs.
The 2012 Minimum Standards for the AAR is the latest standard.
FHSP was established by House Bill 5 and adopted as of the 2014-2015 school year. Not all information in the 2012 Minimum Standards has remained valid. See the following State Board of Education (SBOE) Texas Administration Code (TAC) sections:
- SBOE TAC §74 Subchapter B. Graduation Requirements
- SBOE TAC §74 Subchapter BB. Commissioner's Rules Concerning High School Graduation
- SBOE TAC §74.5. Academic Achievement Record (Transcript)
Information provided below is for informational purposes only. Refer to official TEA documentation for confirmation and additional information.
IMPORTANT:
- The AAR cannot contain information disclosing a student's disability.
- The AAR cannot contain information indicating a student has attended a juvenile justice alternative education program (JJAEP). Instead, the AAR should include the name and CDCN of the student's home campus. (On Transcript Definition page - Record Details tab, select Home School instead of Current School.)
- The AAR cannot contain an indication of completion of Individualized Education Program (IEP) for special education.

Configurations ↑
In order for AARs to print accurately, the following steps must be completed at the district and school level.
District Configurations:
- Use of District GPAs must be enabled at the district level, if used. See GPA Configurations Page.
- On District Settings, indicate if you want to use Optimized Graduation Status logic. Select the Do Not Optimize Graduation Status option accordingly. See Graduation Requirements - Graduation Status section.
- On School Options (district), click the Logo button to upload a district logo to print on transcripts, if preferred.
- On Course History Institutions, add any schools or institutions that will need to be displayed on student transcripts.
- On Courses, verify the accuracy of all data in the course table. See Graduation Requirements - Course Table Accuracy section and Courses - General Information.
- Include locally-developed courses (Revised Minimum Standards 1.7 (e)):
All locally developed courses must be assigned an eight-digit service ID number (alphanumeric, with last three digits assigned locally, such as 84000XXX Locally Developed Course - English Language Arts).
The course number must begin with 8 (e.g., 8XXXXXXX). - Add any courses for transfer students that are not taught in the district. See Creating Transcripts for Transfer Students. Before adding the course, add the school where the course was taken to Course History Institutions.
- Include locally-developed courses (Revised Minimum Standards 1.7 (e)):
- On GPA Configurations(district) if using custom district-defined GPAs:
- Inactivate any built-in GPAs that are not needed.
- Create custom district GPAs.
- Assign district-defined GPAs to specific schools or cohorts (Schools and Cohorts heading).
- Modify weight factors for the district-defined GPAs if needed (GPA Weight heading).
- Rank Type should either be Weighted GPA or Non Weighted to align with the GPA being used. If no ranking is desired then set the Rank Groups, Calculate Top % and Display Top % to Parents and Students all to 0.
Otherwise Aeries built-in GPAs are used.
- Set up indicators/special explanation codes. See Texas - Transcript Indicator Definitions.
- Courses/activities that serve as PE substitutions
- High school programs for students receiving special education services
- Articulated agreement (Code A)
- Dual-credit courses (Code D)
- Other special explanation codes
