2018-19 STAAR PASSING RESULTS BY GRADE 5th 6th

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT looks at how much all students know and can do in tested subjects. For high schools and districts, grades are based on how many graduates are ready for college, career or the military and how many students approach, meet and master grade-level expectations on the STAAR. SCHOOL PROGRESS looks at how much better students are doing than their peers in similar schools or how much better all students are doing than they were last year. CLOSING THE GAPS looks at how well different groups of students, such as race, income level and special education status, are performing. Higher grades are awarded if all students are doing well in academic growth and student achievement.
