STAAR

Beginning in Spring 2012,
the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR™)
will replace the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).

At grades 3–8, the STAAR program
will assess the same subjects and grades
that are currently assessed on TAKS.

At high school, grade-specific assessments
will be replaced with 12 end-of-course (EOC) assessments.

Getting Ready for STAAR

We encourage parents and guardians to help their students prepare for the STAAR tests in the upcoming months.
