AUSTIN (KXAN) — Results from the Spring 2025 STAAR tests were released Tuesday morning, showing Texans how well their students and districts performed on the end-of-year exams.
There were only slight changes from the Spring 2024 results. The share of Texas students who met requirements in Algebra and Biology increased by two and five points, while English I and II fell by three and four points. U.S. History remains students’ strongest section with a slight drop of one percentage point.
A press release from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) celebrated students’ growth in the Biology section. All groups, including economically disadvantaged, special education and emergent bilingual students, improved in the category.
According to the graphic above, all students are roughly in line with the 2019 STAAR results. Special education and emergent bilingual students now exceed their 2019-2024 scores.
Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said that while students and educators worked hard, more is needed to help students.
“Texas students and educators continue to work hard to demonstrate academic excellence,” Morath said in the release. “At the same time, we also recognize that too many students are still not where they need to be academically. Using a reliable system of assessments, we can continue making progress on the strategies that are most effective in improving student learning and long-term success.”
