Student data portal

TEA has developed a data portal that allows parents to have access to their student's assessment information across administrations.  Please visit the Texas Assessment website to access the data portal. 

  • Click on "Go to Student Portal"
  • Enter "Unique Access Code" (which is located at the bottom of the student's confidential student report)

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.
