Show me the Data: No CR Data on December retesters? No ECR reports at all? No pdf's for reteaching? Why?

Update: Just learned about a tool. The Cambium Research Portal: https://txresearchportal.com/selections?tab=state 

Here's the report for English I: 

Here's the report for English II

The question is WHY weren't these results part of the STATE's Summary reports? WHY did I have to do to a Cambium research portal? 

Here's the Results and a ANOTHER Question: Why are we still doubling the points on a score that used to come from two people and now comes from a machine? Still don't have SCR data. 

English I: 

Score Point 0: 63%

Score Point 1: 5%

Score Point 2: 6%

Score Point 3: 2%

Score Point 4: 3%

Score Point 5: 3%

Score Point 6: 3%

Score Point 7: 2%

Score Point 8: 2%

Score Point 9: 1%

Score Point 10: 1%

English II: 

Score Point 0: 79%

Score Point 1: 7%

Score Point 2: 5%

Score Point 3: 2%

Score Point 4: 1%

Score Point 5: 1%

Score Point 6: 1%

Score Point 7: 0%

Score Point 8: 1%

Score Point 9: 1%

Score Point 10: 1%

Original Post: 

Here are the EOC state reports for December retesters: 

English I

English II

And here are the FAILURE rates: A(Algebra)1: 62% E1: 68% E2: 76% 

For the last administration, we saw charts like this on the summary reports: 


And now, I'm hearing that schools are not getting the pdf's of retesters' essays? AND, we don't get to see any of the test items? We have to wait until they retest (AGAIN) in the spring to see data? And all of this is happening with the new machine scoring in place. 

Do we have to wait until 3/25-28 for the Accountability Reports? 

How are we supposed to help the students without seeing how they responded? How are we supposed to understand how they are graded without seeing the connection with the score and the essay? 

I understand that releasing the tests is expensive. We've been dealing with lack of info to support retesters for a while now. But not having reports and data about constructed responses is inexcusable at this juncture regardless of the administration type.
