Summer remediation for the STAAR tests will take place at the school from June 24 to June 27, 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with both snacks and bus transportation being provided.

A score of 3500 is passing for the math, science and social studies tests. For English I and II reading and writing, a score of 1875 is passing.

For those interested in extra help, subject-specific lessons will be designed by instructional specialists in order to improve scores. Summer remediation is the best opportunity for students to get what they need to pass the test.

The summer testing schedule is as follows:

July 8               a.m. – English I Writing, p.m. – Chemistry

July 9               a.m. – English I Reading, p.m. – Geometry

July 10             a.m. – English II Writing, p.m. – Algebra I

All students are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
