What are the testing requirements for students in grades 3–8 who are enrolled in a high school course that does not have a corresponding STAAR EOC assessment?

• For mathematics, these students would still be required to take their grade-level STAAR
  assessment since there is not a STAAR EOC assessment to take and because students
  are required by federal law to be assessed annually in grades 3–8 in mathematics. For
  example, a grade 8 student enrolled in geometry will take the STAAR grade 8 mathematics
  assessment (since there is not a STAAR geometry assessment), as well as the other
  grade 8 assessments.
• For science, students in grades 5 and 8 would still be required to take their grade-level
  STAAR assessment if they have not already taken it since students are required by federal
  law to be assessed in science at least once in elementary and once in middle school.
• For social studies, students in grade 8 would not be required to take their grade-level
  assessment since there is no federal requirement to test in social studies.
• For writing, students in grades 4 and 7 would not be required to take their grade-level
  assessment.
• This question is not applicable for reading since there is a reading test in every grade from
  3–10 to satisfy federal requirements.
