The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) is a standardized test that is used to measure the academic progress of students in Texas. The STAAR test is given to students in grades 3-8 and 11. The test is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), which are the state standards for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
The STAAR test is important because it helps to ensure that students are meeting the state standards. The test also helps to identify students who need additional support. The STAAR test has been given since 2012, and it has undergone several changes over the years. The most recent changes to the STAAR test were made in 2019.
