Purpose of STAAR Test Results
Each set of STAAR results serves a unique role:
- Early Results help schools make immediate decisions like accelerated instruction, retention, or graduation planning.
- Preliminary Results provide initial insights into school/district performance and allow corrections before final reporting.
- Final Results feed into the Texas Performance Reporting System (TPRS) for public accountability and official evaluations.
