Hi Colts,
STAAR EOC testing is coming in April. STAAR EOC testing is different at high school than it has been at elementary and junior high so I hope the following email will help lessen some confusion.
STAAR EOC
STAAR and EOC tests are the same thing. I'll call them STAAR EOC tests to help lessen confusion, but you may hear the terms interchangeably. Your student needs to pass 5 STAAR EOC tests in order to graduate. Those are:
English 1
English 2
Algebra 1
Biology
US History
Your child will take each test for the first time when they take the course tied to the test. If they pass them all, they will be done STAAR EOC testing after their 11th-grade year. However, if they fail any test, they will continue to retake the tests until they pass. We offer retesting opportunities every semester and in the summer as needed and will notify your student if they are on the retester list.
2024 Testing Dates:
4/9: English 1
4/10: English 2
4/16: Biology
4/17: US History
4/23: Algebra 1
Make-up dates follow each test and students who are absent will be called in for make-up testing.
Students who have failed a STAAR EOC in the past will be able to retest on the above dates along with students taking the test for the first time.
Please reach out to your student's counselor with any questions regarding STAAR EOC progress and the graduation status of your student.
Sincerely,
Stacie Humbles, Principal
Arlington High School
