Parent access to student test data
TEA has developed a data entrance that allows parents to have access to their student's assessment information across administrations.
Click on "Go to Student Portal"
- Enter "Unique Access Code" (which is located at the bottom of the student's confidential student report)
- Enter the student's date of birth
The reports provide historical state assessment data for TAKS and TELPAS for each student. The goal of this online system is to assist students and parents with tracking academic progress. The site is user friendly and the reports are easy to understand.
