STAAR is the Texas state test, written to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Students take reading language arts and math every year from grade 3 to grade 8, plus science in grades 5 and 8 and social studies in grade 8. In high school, five end-of-course (EOC) exams count toward graduation.
State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), run by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
STAAR has been taken online since the December 2022 EOC administration, with paper versions only for students who qualify. Grades 3-8 tests are given in spring windows in April and May, and EOCs are also offered in December and June so students can retest. Check TEA's testing calendar for this year's exact dates.
To graduate, students must reach Approaches Grade Level or higher on all five EOCs. Big change ahead: under House Bill 8 (2025), STAAR is due to be replaced from the 2027-28 school year by three shorter tests spread across the year (beginning, middle and end of year) for grades 3-8, and the English II EOC ends from 2027-28, although the classes of 2026 and 2027 still need it to graduate.

See the study portal βThe biggest jump for many Texas students since the redesign is the written response. Even in grade 3, children answer in writing about what they read, so short, regular practice writing a paragraph that uses evidence from a passage pays off. In the parent-managed study portal your child can practice STAAR-style reading questions, math problems and short written answers, with hints instead of answers if you switch on No Answers Mode.
Use the test generator to build STAAR-style quizzes on a TEKS student expectation, mixing multiple choice, multiselect and constructed response, with an answer key. Worksheets and exit tickets can target readiness and supporting standards, and the same set can be regenerated at a different reading level for intervention groups.
