STAAR/EOC INFORMATION
The State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) helps to ensure that Texas students are competitive with other students both nationally and internationally. One important function of STAAR is to gauge how well school and teachers are preparing their students academically. The test is specifically designed to measure individual student progress in relation to content that is tied to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Every STAAR question is directly aligned to the TEKS currently in effect for the course being assessed. All students enrolled in Texas public school and charter schools are expected to participate in the Texas Assessment Program. Texas high school students, regardless of enrolled grade level, are required to take and pass five end-of-course assessments as part of their graduation requirements. Those five tests include: Algebra 1, English 1, English 2, Biology, and US History. All of these tests are administered online.

The Texas Legislature signed into action House Bill 4545 in June of 2021, which provides additional learning opportunities for students who did not meet passing standards on the STAAR or EOC exam. If your student does not meet the passing standard on one or more of the STAAR or EOC tests they will be required to attend summer tutorials in order to prepare for the summer 2022 STAAR retesting dates. The additional learning opportunities are mandatory.
Summer tutorials will begin the week after graduation and will continue until the retesting dates below. If your child has to re-test in the summer, a more detailed informational letter will be mailed out in late May or as soon as spring results are available.
