📝 Texas State Testing

STAAR End-of-Course results: how many students meet grade level.

The share of students scoring Meets Grade Level or above on Texas's high-school End-of-Course exams — the state's core academic-proficiency benchmark, reported for every campus.

English II
33%
at Meets or above
Approaches 67% · Masters 0%
What do Approaches / Meets / Masters mean? →

Texas reports STAAR at three rising bars: Approaches (likely to succeed in the next grade with support), Meets (solid command, on track for college/career readiness — the headline number above), and Masters (advanced command). End-of-Course exams are taken when a student finishes the course, so they reflect that subject's instruction, not a single grade.
