Grade 3 Requirements

Students in grade 3 must meet the requirements of the Texas Student Success Initiative (SSI), which requires that grade-3 students pass the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) in reading before they can be promoted to grade 4. In addition to these state requirements described in the Texas Education Code (TEC §28.0211 (b)) as a part of SSI, students must meet the following HISD promotion standards:

• All students in grade 3 must meet the state course-average requirement of a 70 overall grade-point average of all courses and the HISD requirement of a 70 or better grade-point average in reading, language arts, mathematics, and either science or social studies.

 

• Students in grade 3 must earn a passing score on the reading section of the TAKS on one of three testing opportunities provided. Students who fail the test will be automatically retained, as required by state law.

 

• All students in grade 3 must score no lower than one grade level below grade-level placement in reading on the Stanford/Aprenda tests. (Example: A third-grade child taking the test in February would need to score at least 2.6 because the child’s actual grade-level placement is third grade, six months, or 3.6.)
