STAAR scores trend downward for state, FISD

by | Jul 15, 2021 | Education, Latest

The Texas Education Agency indicated that with no STAAR tests being administered in 2020, schools’ performance this year seems to have been affect­ed statewide by the complica­tions produced by the pandem­ic, including students shifting to remote learning.

STAAR results were released at the end of June by the Texas Education Agency. The results include testing in math and reading for grades 3 through 8, fourth and seventh grade writ­ing, fifth and eighth grade sci­ence, eighth grade social studies and high school end-of-course (EOC) exams in Algebra I, Eng­lish I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History, said the TEA in a news release.
