Understand HB 8 and the Summit Student Success Tool
Choose Your Own BOY and MOY
From 2027–28, HB 8 replaces STAAR with the Student Success Tool (SST): a beginning-of-year and middle-of-year assessment to guide instruction, then a state-administered end-of-year test.
Texas Districts can choose their BOY and MOY from TEA’s Commissioner’s List of Approved Alternative Assessments—and Summit K12 is on that list for science.
Every District Gives a BOY and MOY
Under HB 8, that testing time is required. Choose an approved provider and make it pay off twice.
Approved for 2027–28 and 2028–29
Summit Student Success is on the Commissioner’s List for Grade 5 Science (English and Spanish), Grade 8 Science and Biology.
Plan Now for Budgets and Adoption
TEA notes that approved alternative assessments are paid for from local funds, so 2027–28 decisions start this year.
