The last time Texas administered the TAKS for most high schoolers was 2011.

I was thinking my kids take the STARS test now, no longer TAKS.

You're right. The STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) is the standardized test of the 2010s.

I loved the TAKS! Well not taking it, but it was relatively easy to score very highly. The STAAR on the other hand I could never quite get the scores I wanted, even coming within a few points of failing the biology one. It's cool though. Finished my Bio 100 course and I never need learn anything about the human body ever again.
