Last spring, Texas ninth graders took the STAAR end-of-course exams for the first time. Because the data has not yet been released by Pearson Education, these results do not include summer end-of-course retakes, and only represent the tests taken in the spring.
How the test ratings work:
• Students rated “Unsatisfactory” are considered “inadequately prepared for the next grade or course.”
• Students rated “Satisfactory” are considered “sufficiently prepared for the next grade or course.”
• Students rated “Advanced” are considered “well prepared for the next grade or course.”
Note: Students considered “Advanced” are included in the total for Satisfactory.
