The STAAR test is Texas’ mandated standardized testing program required of all public school students in grades 3-8. The test is based on state curriculum standards in core subjects including reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies, according to the Texas Education Agency. The problem with the test, Katy ISD documents state, is that, “The state’s accountability system is disproportionately based on a single end-of-year STAAR. Meanwhile, the state’s mandate to administer online STAAR tests for elementary students is impractical, as many of these students are not yet proficient in using a keyboard.”
Rather than using state-required assessments, the district argues, the focus should be on “single alternative assessments in lieu of required assessments,” documents show.
