Texas high school STAAR test results improved this year

Standardized testing scores in Texas are slowly improving after disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Texas Education Agency said STAAR test results for high school students were slightly better this year compared to last year. 

But they are still down overall compared to 2019, the year before COVID-19 hit.
