For STAAR grades 3–8 assessments, student report cards contain all subjects tested during the school year. In most cases, a student taking an above-grade assessment will receive two report cards, one for each grade. Students in grades 7 and 8 who took the Algebra I assessment during the spring administration will have their Algebra I results shown on their student report card along with the other grade-level assessments they took during the spring administration.

For STAAR end-of-course (EOC) assessments, student report cards contain cumulative results for all courses tested.

A former TAKS, TAAS, and TEAMS examinee who takes a STAAR EOC assessment as an alternate assessment to fulfill testing graduation requirements will receive a student report card that shows how well the examinee performed on the assessment. “Passed” means the student’s score met the required passing score for that assessment. “Did Not Pass” means the student’s score did not meet the required passing score for that assessment. Refer to the TAKS webpage for additional information.

In addition to the information described above for all student report cards, STAAR student report cards include the following information:

• Test Results

  For STAAR, this section provides the following additional information:

  • Test Information

    If a student took a specific version of the assessment (e.g., online with embedded supports, paper with or without embedded supports, Spanish) that information is provided.

  • Percentile

    This information provides the percentage of students who scored the same as or lower than the student’s score when comparing to all Texas students who took the same assessment in the current administration.

  • Math Badge

    For students in grades 5, 6, or 7, the gold star icon informs parents that there is enough supporting evidence in their child’s assessment history to indicate that their child is ready to meaningfully engage in advanced mathematics course materials, such as Algebra I.

  • Middle School Advanced Mathematics Program

    For students who took the STAAR grade 5 mathematics assessment, the gold trophy icon informs parents that their child scored high enough to be enrolled in an advanced mathematics course in sixth grade.

  • Accelerated Instruction

    This message informs parents that their child did not receive a passing score on the assessment and is entitled to receive accelerated instruction.

• Lexile^® Measure

  The Lexile measure indicates the difficulty of the materials that the student should be able to read successfully. The Lexile measure is reported in a range from Beginning Reader (BR or 0L) to a positive value in each grade (e.g., 1100L at grade 3, 1200L at grade 4).

• Quantile^® Measure

  The Quantile measure indicates the difficulty of the math problems that the student should be able to solve successfully. The Quantile measure is reported in a range from Emerging Mathematician (EM or 0Q) to a positive value in each grade (e.g., 400Q at grade 3, 500Q at grade 4).

• Progress

  For students enrolled in grades 3–8, this section shows the student’s progress from the previous year to the current year in RLA and mathematics. A student can achieve Limited, Expected, or Accelerated progress. The graph shows the student’s previous year and current year scale scores as well as the performance levels into which the scale scores fall.
