Spring 2025 Administration

For the spring 2025 State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) administration, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has scheduled a two-week testing window for each content-area grouping: mathematics, reading language arts (RLA), and science and social studies. For paper administrations of STAAR, district personnel should plan to conduct testing during the first one and a half weeks of the testing window and reserve the last two to three days for ensuring that all student responses are submitted in the Data Entry Interface (DEI). All assessments must be completed and processed in the system and all students must be accounted for in the system by 11:59 p.m. (CT) on the last day of the two-week window for each content-area grouping. For example, all RLA data must be entered before the close of the RLA testing window. The Calendar of Events lists specific dates for these activities within each two-week testing window.
