STAAR Tests Results Down Across Texas

(Austin,TX) -- Texas STAAR test results are showing proficiency drops in almost every subject. The Texas Education Agency says students did poorer in every subject except for English One and Two. Math proficiency levels in elementary school students took a major drop compared to 2019 with around 37-percent of third through eighth graders not meeting standards. TEA Commissioner Mike Morath says virtual learning was the biggest cause of the proficiency drops, while praising districts which had more in-person learning. He also encouraged parents to go to TexasAssessment.gov to get more information on supporting student academic growth. STAAR tests were not done last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
