STAAR
The purpose of this Log In & Learn More district communication tool kit is to provide local educational agencies with resources for communicating with families about getting their child’s STAAR scores. District testing personnel may also refer to the Texas Assessment Family Portal Information webpage for information on helping families access the Family Portal.
Log In & Learn More One-Pagers
Spring STAAR EOC assessment results will be available to families on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. Grades 3–8 Assessment results will be available to families on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
The easiest way for parents and guardians to access the Texas Assessment Family Portal is through a district’s local family portal, where district personnel can set up an automatic log-in link provided by the district’s Student Information System (SIS) vendor. The automatic log-in link provides parents and guardians quick access to the Family Portal via single sign-on (SSO). This process also allows parents and guardians to bypass the Family Portal log-in screen and the unique access code.
Parents and guardians can also access the Family Portal by visiting the Texas Assessment website or directly at https://txfamilyportal.org using the student's unique access code, date of birth, and first name.

STAAR
The STAAR progress measure provides information about the amount of improvement or growth a student has made from year to year. For STAAR, progress is measured as a student’s gain score, the difference between the score a student achieved in the prior year and the score a student achieved in the current year. Individual student progress is then categorized as Did Not Meet, Met, or Exceeded.

This badge is intended to be one of many tools parents or teachers may use to decide which math course would appropriately challenge a student.
STAAR Alternate 2
The STAAR Alternate 2 Progress Measure provides information about the amount of improvement or growth a student has made from year to year. For STAAR Alternate 2, progress is measured based on a student’s stage change from the prior year to the current year. Stage change is determined by: 1) classifying the student’s scores from the previous school year and the current school year in terms of the stage of performance achieved, and then 2) comparing the stages from year to year. Student progress is then categorized as Did Not Meet, Met, or Exceeded.

Then the student is categorized as On Track or Not On Track.

TEA releases two types of test questions for STAAR—test forms and sample questions. A test form is a set of released test questions previously administered together to Texas students and reflects the STAAR test blueprints. Sample test questions are small subsets of test questions released from the STAAR test banks. These test questions may have been previously administered.
Released Test Questions
Beginning with the 2022–2023 school year, STAAR assessments are administered primarily online. Direct links to the STAAR released online tests are included in the chart below. All versions (accommodated, braille, ASL, etc.) of STAAR tests are available on the Practice Test Site.

The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) Vertical Alignment documents provide a complete listing of the TEKS curriculum from pre-kindergarten through end-of-course (EOC). These documents provide a total overview of the knowledge and skills statements and align student expectations across the grades. The student expectations provide access points to the general education curriculum by serving as prerequisite skills for STAAR Alternate 2.
In addition to the prerequisite skills, there are specific terms that students will need exposure to during instruction. This list does not encompass all of the curriculum a student would be responsible for; it is a unique list of instructional terms developed by educator teams. Students need to become familiar with these terms as the student is developmentally able to comprehend the content. Students in higher grades need to also know the terms presented in earlier grades.

The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) is a standardized academic achievement test designed to measure the extent to which a student has learned and is able to apply the defined knowledge and skills in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) at each tested grade, subject, and course. Every STAAR question is directly aligned to the TEKS currently in effect for the grade and subject or course being assessed.
STAAR helps to ensure that Texas students are competitive with other students both nationally and internationally. Another important function of STAAR is gauging how well schools and teachers prepare their students academically. In addition, STAAR fulfills the requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, which requires that all students be assessed in specific grades and subjects throughout their academic careers.
STAAR is an online assessment in mathematics, reading language arts (RLA), science, and social studies for students in grades 3–8 and high school and online tests in Spanish for students in grades 3–5.
Who Is Tested?
All students enrolled in Texas public schools and open-enrollment charter schools in grades 3–8 and specific high school courses are required by both federal and state law to participate in STAAR.
