In 2012 the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STARR) replaced the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Today, the STARR annually tests reading and mathematics for grades 3-8, writing for grades 4-7, science for grades 5-8, social studies for grade 9, and also administers end-of-course assessments for English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History.

The STAAR calculates a raw score based on how many correct answers a student has. This raw score is then converted into a Level Score. These levels are as follows: · Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic Performance
The child is not prepared for the next grade level. · Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance
The student is likely to be successful in the next grade. · Level III: Advanced Academic Performance
The student is highly likely to be successful in the next grade. In some subjects, a horizontal or vertical scale score may also be given. The horizontal score allows for a comparison of one child’s score to others in their grade level, or students in different grade levels taking the same subjects. The vertical score is then used to compare a student’s individual scores over time to assess improvement across grade levels.

While the STAAR test scoring system can prove intimidating to parents and students alike, the Texas Education Agency has a multitude of resources to understand your child’s score, no matter which STAAR test they are taking.
