STAAR Performance Labels
Performance Labels
There will be two cut scores, which will identify three
performance categories for the general STAAR assessments.
The labels for the performance categories are
A Level III: Advanced Academic Performance
A Level II: Satisfactory Academic Performance
A Level I: Unsatisfactory Academic Performance
STAAR Performance Standards
Performance Standards for EOC Assessments
 Standards will be set in February 2012 prior to first
high stakes administration in spring 2012.
 First reports with performance standards applied will
be available in June 2012.
 First retests will be offered in July 2012.
STAAR Performance Standards
Performance Standards for Grades 3–8
 Standards will be set in October 2012 after first
administration in spring 2012.
 Raw score information will be available in late spring
2012.
 First reports with performance standards applied will
be available in late fall 2012.
STAAR End-of-Course High School
Assessments
ATesting requirements for graduation will significantly increase.
While TAKS represented four “hurdles” for students, STAAR
represents 12 hurdles for students taking the recommended
high school program.
ATo graduate under STAAR, a student must achieve a cumulative
score that is at least equal to the product of the number of EOC
assessments taken in each foundation content area (English
language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies) and a
scale score that indicates satisfactory performance.

STAAR Graduation Requirements
Graduation Requirements
 A student must achieve a minimum score, as
determined by the commissioner, for the score to
count towards the student’s cumulative score.
 A student’s cumulative score is determined using the
student‘s highest score on each EOC assessment.
STAAR Graduation Requirements
Graduation Requirements
• For middle school students who take a high school course (e.g.,
Algebra I) prior to spring 2012, TEA is considering several
options.
A Students would not be required to take that particular EOC
assessment. Their cumulative score for that content area
would decrease.
A Students could choose to take that particular EOC
assessment in spring 2012 or beyond. If they take the
assessment, the score they receive would only be used in
their cumulative score if it benefitted the students.

Graduation Requirements
• For freshmen who complete a high school course in fall 2011
(e.g., students on an accelerated block schedule), TEA is
considering several options.
A Students would not be required to take that particular EOC
assessment. Their cumulative score for that content area
would decrease.
A Students could choose to take that particular EOC
assessment in spring 2012 or beyond. If they take the
assessment, the score they receive would only be used in
their cumulative score if it benefitted the students.

Graduation Requirements
• For students who are new to Texas public schools (e.g., from
out-of-state, out-of-country, or private schools) and who have
earned credit for a high school course that has an EOC
assessment associated with it, TEA is considering several
options in addition to the options that currently exist.
A Students would not be required to take that particular EOC
assessment. Their cumulative score for that content area
would decrease.
A Students could choose to take that particular EOC

STAAR Graduation Requirements
Graduation Requirements
 Freshman class of 2011–2012 is first group to have
EOC assessments as part of their graduation
requirement.
 All 12 EOC assessments will be available in 2011–
2012 in both paper and online modes for these
students.
STAAR End-of-Course High School
Assessments
In addition to meeting cumulative score requirement in
each of four core content areas, students on the
recommended high school program have to perform
satisfactorily on –
AAlgebra II assessment
AEnglish III assessment

STAAR End-of-Course High School
Assessments
AA student’s score on an EOC assessment will be worth
15% of student’s final grade for that course

STAAR End-of-Course High School
Assessments
In addition to meeting cumulative score requirement in
each of four core content areas, students on the
distinguished achievement program have to perform
satisfactorily on the college and career readiness
component of –
AAlgebra II assessment
AEnglish III assessment

Performance on Algebra II
STAAR Graduation Requirements
Graduation Requirements for the Minimum High School Program
• Take STAAR EOC assessments for courses in which they are
enrolled and for which an EOC assessment exists (8–12 tests)
• Meet cumulative score requirement in each of the four core
content areas for courses specifically required on the MHSP
(could be as few as 8 tests)
STAAR Performance Standard
EOC Assessments
 English III and Algebra II assessments will include a performance
standard, Level III: Advanced Academic Performance, that
indicates postsecondary readiness.
 Research will be conducted to investigate a postsecondaryreadiness component for science and social studies EOC
assessments.
STAAR End-of-Course High
School Assessments
AStudents are not required to retake a course if he
or she received credit for the course as a condition
of retaking the assessment
ASchool districts shall provide accelerated instruction
to each student who fails to perform satisfactorily
on assessments

Standard Setting Process
ASTAAR performance standards will be set so that
they require a higher level of student performance
than is required on the current TAKS assessments.
ASTAAR performance standards for STAAR EOC will
be set in February 2012 and reports will be
available in June 2012 after the first May 2012
administration.
APerformance standards for STAAR at grades 3–8
will be set in fall 2012, after the first spring
administration of STAAR. This standard-setting
schedule will result in the following:
21
Standard Setting Process
A The Student Success Initiative (SSI) promotion requirements
will not include use of the STAAR results in the 2011–2012
school year only, since passing standards will not yet be
established. Statute will require the use of other academic
information (teacher recommendations, student grades, etc.) in
promotion decisions.
A Reporting of STAAR grades 3-8 results will be delayed until
fall 2012.
A Different measures of student progress will likely be
implemented for STAAR. Texas will implement a multi-step
process to identify the student progress measures that will be
used for the STAAR assessment program.
22
Performance Standards
AEach general grade 3-8 and EOC STAAR assessment
will have a satisfactory cut score and an advanced
cut score. There will also be EOC minimum scores set
below but within a reasonable range of the
satisfactory scores that will be used to determine
whether a student’s score on a particular EOC
assessment may count toward his or her cumulative
score in that content area.
23
Performance Standards
APerformance at the highest cut score will be
interpreted differently depending on the
assessment.
TThe highest cut will indicate college readiness
for Algebra II and English III.
TIt will indicate advanced course readiness for
Algebra I, English I, and II.
TIt will indicate advanced performance for the
remaining courses.
24
Performance Standards
AIt is anticipated that the satisfactory performance
standards for STAAR will be phased in over several
years, but the highest performance standard
(including the college and career readiness standards
for Algebra II and English III) would not be phased in,
but applied as approved when STAAR becomes
operational.
APerformance standards will be reviewed at least
every three years, as required by state statute.
25
What data will be available when
A TAKS – spring 2011 was the last year for grades 3-9. The last
TAKS year for grade 10 is 2012; last primary administration of
exit level TAKS is spring 2013
A STAAR EOC – first reports will be available in late spring 2012;
first retest will be offered in summer 2012
A STAAR 3-8 – first reports with performance standards applied
will be available in late fall 2012
A Students and parents are able to access results through a data
portal, a secure system that provides the ability to view reports,
track student progress, provide assessment data to institutions
of higher education, and provide information to the general
public.
