On the first day of STAAR testing (Tuesday, April 6th), testing was suspended after multiple students were unable to either start or complete their online test.
When this glitch occurred, almost 1,000 Lubbock ISD students were online testing. Some experienced a delay that lasted anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes. Good grief.
When applied to final State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness testing standards, over half of the scores of Texas high school freshmen fall short of passing in five key areas of the new end of course tests.
