STATE OF TEXAS ASSESSMENTS OF ACADEMIC READINESS
The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) is a standardized academic achievement test designed to measure the extent to which a student has learned and is able to apply the defined knowledge and skills in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) at each tested grade, subject, and course. Every STAAR question is directly aligned to the TEKS currently in effect for the grade and subject or course being assessed.
STAAR helps to ensure that Texas students are competitive with other students both nationally and internationally. Another important function of STAAR is gauging how well schools and teachers prepare their students academically. In addition, STAAR fulfills the requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, which requires that all students be assessed in specific grades and subjects throughout their academic careers.
STAAR is an online assessment in mathematics, reading language arts (RLA), science, and social studies for students in grades 3–8 and high school and online tests in Spanish for students in grades 3–5.
Who is tested?
All students enrolled in Texas public schools and open-enrollment charter schools in grades 3–8 and specific high school courses are required by both federal and state law to participate in STAAR.
We are excited to invite you to our Kindergarten Orientation for the 2025-2026 school year!
This event is specifically for families of children who will be starting kindergarten next school year.
It’s a wonderful opportunity for our future kinder students to get a feel for their new school environment, make a few friends, and begin to build excitement for their upcoming kindergarten year.
At the orientation, we’ll share important information about the kindergarten experience, school policies, and how you can support your child during this transition.
It’s also a great chance to meet our teachers and connect with the school community.
