What is the Texas Student Data System (TSDS)?The Texas Student Data System (TSDS), a major initiative by the Texas Education Agency, is a new statewide system that modernizes and improves the quality of data collection, management, and reporting in Texas education.
Through the new studentGPS® Dashboards and other improvements, TSDS will support higher student performance across the state.
TSDS also replaces and expands on the existing Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS):
- TSDS modernizes the PEIMS data collection process to reduce technology risk and system downtime allowing for more system availability and ease of use.
- It puts real-time student performance data in the hands of educators to improve student achievement.
- TSDS will become the one common data collection platform for TEA to reduce the data collection burden on districts and charter schools.
