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.

Is staar test going to count this year?

The STAAR is and is not going to count. It is not going to count in the school's position, as in if the school is already exemplary, it is going to stay exemplary. The STAAR will count toward someone's final score just like the TAKS though. The rules have not changed just because a new test came out.
