The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR^®) program, implemented in spring 2012, included annual assessments for:

reading and mathematics, grades 3–8
writing at grades 4 and 7 (no longer administered as of 2021-2022)
science at grades 5 and 8
social studies at grade 8
end-of-course (EOC) assessments for English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology and U.S History.

The resources on this website provide information to familiarize Texas educators and the public with the design and format of the STAAR program. The information should help educators understand how the STAAR program measures the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) curriculum standards. These resources should support, not narrow or replace, the teaching of the state-mandated TEKS curriculum.
