According to Section 33.082(f) and (g) of the Texas Education Code: The parent or person standing in parental relation to a non-enrolled student is responsible for oversight of academic standards. As a condition of eligibility during the first six weeks of a school year, the student must demonstrate grade-level academic proficiency on a nationally recognized, norm-referenced assessment (such as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, Stanford Achievement Test, California Achievement Test, or Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills), achieving a composite, core, or survey score in the average or higher range as established by the testing service. The district must accept results administered or reported by a third party. This demonstration is valid for the school year achieved and the subsequent school year.
