STAAR EOC
State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness
End of Course
The new state assessment of student
knowledge and skills
End of Course versus TAKS
• 65% of the test represents current course
level knowledge and skills (readiness
standards)
• 35% of the test represents prior knowledge
and skills (supporting standards and process
standards)
• TAKS = 35% current and 65% prior

Sample Question
David wants to spread wildflower seeds in a
rectangular field that is 60 feet wide and
70 feet long. Each package of wildflower seeds
covers about 175 square feet and costs $6.95.
Which of the following amounts is closest to
the total cost of the wildflower seeds David
needs for this field?
F $24.00
G $170.00
H $604.00
J $310.00
Sample Question
The sum of the perimeters of two different squares is 32
centimeters, and the difference between their perimeters is 8
centimeters. If x represents the side length of the larger
square and y represents the side length of the smaller square,
which of the following systems of equations could be used to
find the dimensions of the squares?
A
x + y = 32
x−y=8
B 4x + 4y = 32
4x − 4y = 8
C 2x + 2y = 32
2y − 2x = 8
D 4x + 2y = 32
4x − 2y = 8
Required for Graduation
• TAKS = Must master Exit-level assessments
(those given in the 11th grade)
• EOC = Must master 12 assessments
•
•
•
•
Freshman: Algebra 1, Biology, World Geo, Eng 1
Sophomore: Geometry, Chemistry, W Hist, Eng 2
Junior: Algebra 2, Physics, US History, Eng 3
If you do not pass, then you will be placed in EOC
remediation courses
Graduation Requirement
• Combined scores in each subject must meet
state standard (ex. 1000 is maximum score;
mastery equals 700 per test x 3 = 2100)
• You must meet the standard in all subjects
• Assessment scores represent 15% of your
course grade for the year
• You could pass the course as a class but fail due to test
score (remediation required)
• You could fail the course but pass due to test score
• You could fail both (remediation and summer school)
Diploma Plan: Minimum
Students graduating under the Minimum High
School Program (MHSP) must take STAAR EOC
assessments for all courses in which they are
enrolled and for which there is a STAAR EOC
assessment available and meet a cumulative
score requirement in each of the four foundation
content areas. It is possible that some students
graduating on the minimum plan will need to
perform satisfactorily on as few as eight EOC
assessments.
Diploma Plan: Recommended
Students graduating under the Recommended
High School Program (RHSP) must take all twelve
STAAR EOC assessments (Algebra I, geometry,
Algebra II, biology, chemistry, physics, English I,
English II, English III, world geography, world
history, and U.S. history) and meet the
cumulative score requirement in each of the four
foundation content areas. Additionally, these
students must achieve Level II: Satisfactory
Academic Performance on the Algebra II and
English III assessments in order to receive a
diploma under the RHSP.
Diploma Plan: Distinguished
Students graduating under the Distinguished
Achievement Program (DAP) must take all
twelve EOC assessments and meet the
cumulative score requirement in each of the
four foundation content areas. In addition,
these students must meet Level III: Advanced
Academic Performance, the post secondaryreadiness performance standard, on the
Algebra II and English III assessments in order
to receive a diploma under the DAP.
