A Frisco sixth-grader shared her secret to achieving a perfect score on the STAAR test.
"I think the key to the STAAR is to calm down and do it slowly. And if you do that, then it's pretty easy," she explained.
Her chill attitude was no accident. Amelia and her family are new to Texas. She didn't know the weight the test carries. Her parents kept it from her, saying they didn't want to put pressure on her. "I've heard from parents, 'oh, my child is a straight-A in school but on STAAR they have failed,' it was just very hard for me and my husband," said Mansi.
All that worry and she aced it, her family knows it was her drive, and the teachers at Leadership Prep School in Frisco that helped their little star shine as bright as the sun. Another family in Grand Prairie contacted NBC DFW to say their child also received a perfect score on STAAR. So did a student in the Houston area.
