About the Tests
- In 2006-2007, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11.
- TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas.
- The different student groups are identified by the Texas Education Agency; if there are a small number of students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
- The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement.
- The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
