STAAR Scores Now Available via Parent Portal
Students took the STAAR tests earlier this spring as one of many ways to measure student learning. The STAAR tests will help schools and teachers better understand where students may have gaps from the disruptions to learning caused by the pandemic. Teachers will use STAAR results along with other information to co-create learning plans with families to jumpstart learning next year.
STAAR scores will be posted to the Austin ISD Parent Portal based on the assessment, following the calendar below:
