Parents, please help us by making sure that your student gets to bed at a decent hour, eats a good dinner, and gets to school on time.
We know that our students are more than a test score, but we also want to make sure they do their best so that they can have opportunities appropriate for their academic success.
- High school students must pass all 5 exams (English 1, English 2, Algebra 1, Biology, US History) before they exit high school in order to graduate.
- STAAR scores determine eligibility for honors courses.
- STAAR scores help calculate academic growth for students
