The ESTIMATED raw score ranges reported in this table were calculated by applying the %age of items required for students to meet the applicable performance standard on the Spring 2016 (English) paper administration versions of the indicated STAAR assessments to the maximum raw scores for each assessment in Spring 2017.

This document summarizes the STAAR performance standards for each STAAR assessment beginning in 2016-17 as specified in PROPOSED Commissioner Rule published on December 7, 2016. As specified in the PROPOSED Rule, the Commissioner has recommended that the current phase-in schedule be replaced with a final set of standards and labels to indicate four levels of student performance, as follows: Did Not Meet Grade Level, Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level.
