STATE OF TEXAS ASSESSMENTS OF ACADEMIC
READINESS (STAAR)
STUDENT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS
The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) is the state's testing program for students in grades 3 through 12. It is based on curriculum standards in core subjects including reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. STAAR tests are designed to measure what students are learning in each grade level and assess whether they are ready to excel academically in the next grade. Every student who takes the STAAR test receives a STAAR Report Card that helps parents see how their child is doing in relation to state standards and where they may need extra help.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) administers the STAAR tests and oversees education for the state. It groups learning performance into four levels:

DISTRICT & SCHOOL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS
In addition to individual student grades, each Independent School District (ISD) and every school receive a STAAR ranking that reflects their overall performance, based on the performance of their students. Reports are released twice a year with overall rankings provided in November. This information can also be obtained using the Texas Assessment Management System (TAMS).
TEA provides this information to help parents understand how well their child’s ISD and school are doing when it comes to academically preparing students.
To help parents access this important data, we compiled a list of schools and the projected percentage of students at each school who took the 2021 STAAR test and received a ranking of MEETS. Those reports can be found by clicking on the links below.
