Testing Dates
Starting with the 2018–2019 school year, most State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) tests will be offered on paper over a one-week period and online over a two-week period
May 13 (Mon) STAAR Math Paper Grades 3, 4, 6, & 7 (Retest for Grades 5 & 8)
May 14 (Tues) STAAR Reading Paper Grades Grades 3, 4, 6, & 7 (Retest for Grade 5 & 8)
May 15 (Wed) STAAR Science Paper Grades 5 & 8
May 16 (Thurs) STAAR Social Studies Paper Grade 8
May 6- 8 May Paper EOC window (online extends until May 17)
To accommodate local needs when conflicts arise, districts or campuses may adjust paper test dates within the scheduled administration windows for STAAR grades 3–8 mathematics, reading, science, or social studies. Districts are not required to notify the Texas Education Agency (TEA) of any local decisions to adjust test dates within the paper test administration week. A campus that chooses to adjust test dates should do so for all students on a campus. If a campus administers the same assessment over multiple days, the campus must maintain the security of the assessment. This includes ensuring that the test content remains secure so the assessments administered to students later within the assessment window are still valid
