How the STAAR reports it

STAAR math is a Texas state assessment built on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), not a Common Core framework. Texas publishes explicit STAAR reporting categories by grade/course, with item reporting aligned to TEKS content strands and student expectations.

Blueprint & weighting

TEA’s publicly visible STAAR Mathematics Resources page does not publish item weights in the page content reviewed here. The category structure is explicit, but no percentage blueprint was visible in the sourced materials.

The table shows quiz grades for a class of students. What percent of the students earned an A?
$\begin{array}{l|c} \text{Grade} & \text{Number of students} \\ \hline \text{A} & 12 \\ \text{B} & 18 \\ \text{C} & 10 \\ \text{D} & 10 \end{array}$

Total students: $12+18+10+10=50\textsf{.}$ Percent with an A: $\dfrac{12}{50}=0.24=24\%\textsf{.}$

A basketball player recorded points scored in each of $16$ games. The frequency table shows the results.
$\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Points scored} & \text{Number of games} \\ \hline 18 & 2 \\ 21 & 3 \\ 24 & 4 \\ 27 & 4 \\ 30 & 3 \end{array}$

What is the mean number of points scored per game?

Multiply each point total by its frequency and add: $(18 \times 2) + (21 \times 3) + (24 \times 4) + (27 \times 4) + (30 \times 3) = 393$ . With $16$ games, the mean is $\dfrac{393}{16} = 24.5625$ points per game.
