Accessing STAAR Results
Available in Family Portal June 16, 2022
Results for the spring STAAR End of Course (EOC) tests have been released. You may access your scholar's online STAAR results by visiting the Texas Assessment website at www.TexasAssessment.com. Log into the system using your child’s unique Portal Access Code and date of birth. The results will inform you if your child met the passing standard on both the reading and math STAAR.
What if I don’t know my scholar's unique access code?
- If your student has taken a STAAR test previously, and you have a STAAR Confidential Student Report or STAAR report card, the access code is located at the bottom of that report.
- You may look up the unique access code online.
- To retrieve this code, go to the link stated above.
- Click on the “FIND MY ACCESS CODE” link found in the purple box on the Texas Assessment homepage. This will redirect you to the Texas Assessment Data Portal.
