What type of flexibility do districts have in scheduling the STAAR assessments?

The STAAR grades 3–8 assessments should be administered on the state-assigned days listed on
the student assessment testing calendar. TEA recognizes that districts sometimes have conflicts
and are unable to administer tests on the dates scheduled. If a conflict arises, a district may adjust
the testing dates, except for grades 4 and 7 writing, as long as they administer all the scheduled
assessments within the testing week.

Most STAAR EOC assessments are offered during a testing window. For Algebra I, Biology, and
U.S. History, districts have the flexibility to schedule testing sessions anytime within the testing
window. However, districts must administer English I and English II on the state-assigned days
listed on the student assessment testing calendar.
