High School STAAR Overview

High school students who entered the ninth grade in the 2011–2012 school year or later must take and pass certain required courses and EOC assessments to graduate from a Texas public high school.

These are English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. history.

If a student takes and passes any of these EOC assessments end-of-course exams in middle school, those scores will count toward their state testing requirements for graduation.

Opportunities to take the EOC tests are every April/May, June and December.
