About this data:

E3 Alliance relies primarily on data from the University of Texas Education Research Center (ERC). This data allows for a year-by-year understanding of STAAR 3rd Grade Math achievement based on where and when a student takes the exam. This data pertains to 3rd grade students who were enrolled within the state of Texas and took the exam during the spring of the given school year.

Following are items to note:

The year of the data represents the year students took STAAR 3rd Grade Math. STAAR 3rd Grade Math rates reflect whether a student met 3rd grade standards on the exam.

TEA loosened its requirements for the 3rd grade STAAR in 2020-2021 for remote students, 2020-2021 STAAR data should be interpreted with caution and may not be comparable to prior years because of this change in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

There is a delay in data availability due to state approval within the ERC and analysis time. As such, if you choose to explore data from Central Texas, the graphs below present STAAR 3rd Grade Math data in the most recent available year in Texas schools.

The conclusions of this research do not necessarily reflect the opinions or official position of the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, or the State of Texas.
