What is PEIMS?

The Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) encompasses all data requested and received by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) about public education and includes student demographics, academic performance, personnel, finance, and organizational information.

Each year the CCISD PEIMS department is responsible for submitting district data to the state.   The information submitted determines funding and is used by the state to measure compliance in several programs.  In addition, data from the PEIMS are used to evaluate Texas schools and campuses through the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR.)
