According to the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the spring 2023 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) has been redesigned to align closer to classroom instruction and the unique ways students learn. Reporting final test results for the redesigned STAAR will take a bit longer this year because educators from across the state will meet to provide their expert opinions on the passing scores for the redesigned assessments.

Grades 3-8

• August 11 - Scales Scores and Performance Levels: Districts can access scale scores, performance levels, and STAAR Report Cards and make decisions regarding a student.
• August 16 - Results for Families: Available in the Family Portal.

End-of-Course (EOC)

• May 31 - Early Scales Scores and Performance Levels: Districts can access scale scores, performance levels, and make decisions regarding a student. Early results may be considered final unless districts request corrections.
