Assessment/Accountability
In the 2011-12 school year, Texas student assessments changed from TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) to STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness). The Texas Education Agency mandates the STAAR testing program.
STAAR for grades 3–8 will continue to assess the same subjects that the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills assessed. Students first enrolled in grade 9 or below in the 2011–12 school year must take the STAAR end-of-course assessments as part of their graduation requirements.
The STAAR EOC assessments test high school students for college readiness and produce performance labels that indicate a student’s mastery of the course’s standards. The end-of-course tests assess the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for a given course. In addition to passing courses, a score of satisfactory or above is required to graduate.
