What Are the STAAR Interim Assessments?

The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR^®) Interim Assessments are optional, online assessments aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) that help educators monitor student progress and predict student performance on STAAR. STAAR Interim Assessments are a snapshot of current student performance taken a few times during the year to determine mastery of grade level expectations at a specific moment in time. These assessments are available at no cost to districts and open-enrollment charter schools, and they are not tied to accountability.
