STAAR Scores

Parent directions to access STAAR, STAAR Alt 2, TELPAS and TELPAS Alt results are attached above. All Elementary TELPAS and STAAR scores are now available on HAC.

Important to note:

Parents can view their child’s score history 24/7 by logging into NISD’s Home Access Center (HAC) and choosing the Texas Test Scores tab. This connects parents to the Texas Assessment Student Portal for families.

Log onto the Home Access Center (HAC)
Click on "Grades"
Click on "Texas Test Scores".
Click on the language of report you would like to view and it will automatically log you into the Texas Student Portal.

Families can access their child’s Spring 2024 scores along with tailored resources on the dates included in the attached parent letter.
As always, the results will include detailed information in each subject, including areas of strength and gaps in learning, actual test questions, and tailored resources parents can use at home to support learning.
If parents do not currently have a HAC account, they may follow the instructions here to create one. Once the account has been created, parents may view their child’s state assessment score history by following the steps attached.

Data Verification (aka Registration)

Registration for the 24-25 School Year is in full swing! You should have received an email from NISD on March 18th with the information to register your child for next year. If you have not completed Data Verification for your child, please do so ASAP. We have built classes for the upcoming school year and students who have not yet registered were NOT placed in a class.
