Overview of House Bill 8
House Bill 8 (HB 8), passed during the 89th Texas Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025), and signed by Governor Abbott in September 2025, repeals and replaces the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) beginning with the 2027–28 school year. HB 8 also makes minor changes to the Texas Assessment Program this school year and revises several accountability requirements impacting the A–F accountability refresh that will occur for ratings issued in fall 2028. The To the Administrator Addressed Correspondence (TAA) on House Bill 8 provides a high-level overview of HB 8’s assessment and A–F accountability provisions for Texas public school systems.
TEA has produced a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document related to the implementation of HB 8 that is available at 89th Legislature Updates webpage. The FAQ document will be updated periodically as needed.
Assessment Program Changes Effective with 2027–28 School Year
Starting with the 2027–28 school year, HB 8 will overhaul the Texas Assessment Program by replacing STAAR with a new instructionally supportive assessment program for Texas schools, referred to as the Student Success Tool (SST) in statute. The new program will include beginning-of-year (BOY), middle-of-year (MOY), and end-of-year (EOY) assessments for grades 3–8 and for Spanish grades 3–5. BOY and MOY assessments will be optional for end-of-course (EOC) assessments: Algebra I, Biology, English I, and U.S. History.
The English II EOC assessment is being eliminated, both in terms of the administration of the assessment and as a graduation requirement, beginning with the 2027–28 school year. Note: Students who are in the graduating classes of 2026 and 2027 still have the STAAR English II EOC assessment as part of their high school graduation requirements. More information on assessment graduation requirements for 2028 and beyond will be provided in the future. For more information, please refer to The To the Administrator Addressed Correspondence (TAA) on House Bill 8.

2026 A-F Estimator tools
The A-F Estimators are now available for public use on the Performance Reporting Resources webpage. Users can leverage the A-F Estimator or the A-F Estimator AEA, depending on their school type in order to set goals and strategically plan. These tools are identical to the A-F Estimators released in TEA Login (TEAL) Accountability application earlier this month, but based on stakeholder feedback, are also now available for non-TEAL users.
This A-F Estimators tool enables the calculation and estimation of a district or campus's performance in each domain and overall ratings. The estimators prepopulate domain and component values using 2025 results. Users can enter new component values to estimate the corresponding domain and overall results for 2026 accountability. The accuracy and validity of the estimation depend solely on the data input by the user.
2028 A-F Refresh Public Feedback
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is gathering public suggestions for improvement to the A-F Accountability System for consideration of inclusion in the 2028 A-F Accountability System refresh. Suggestions can be submitted with the following link: 2028 A-F Refresh Public Feedback, posted to the Accountability System Development webpage.
Improve Performance Reporting Processes and Products
Many of the tools shared in recent bulletins were created and shared based on the feedback received from stakeholders across Texas.
As we work to better serve our stakeholders, if you have suggested enhancements to existing products or processes or new tools that would better meet your needs, please share your ideas through our survey, Suggested Enhancements to Performance Reporting's Products and Processes.
