In Texas is it permitted to average an extracurricular activity as an academic test grade?

NO, I am very sorry you cannot. Those opportunities are given to you while you are taking the test. Imagine what would happen if it was allowed afterwards. :D

There is no universal site like this, since grades are confidential between the teacher and the student (and the registrar, in practicality).  However, your individual school may have a resource like that - check your school's website.

Call the State of Texas andinistrative offices in Austin and ask them that question. There are lots of places in the State wher you can take the test...

Best answer I can give you is to contact one of the schools and ask them where they get the test from.

Depends on the school.  Ask them.

Check with your Department of Education. They verify these sorts of things.

I found the following at http://www.nche.com/law.html . It sounds like the easiest thing to do would be to locate a support group that organizes testing.\n\nTesting\nThe state law requires each home school to administer a nationally standardized achievement test, or other nationally standardized equivalent measure to all students. The state does not dictate which test must be given or who is to administer it. If your students are younger than 7, or older than 16 and not desiring to drive, they are not required to be listed on the "Notice of Intent" form and therefore are not required to be tested.\n\nMany local support groups organize group testing for their members. If you are interested in group testing, contact your local support group leader. If you need help in finding the support group nearest you, contact the NCHE office. A good source of information for those who are organizing a group is the NCHE Homeschool Leader's Handbook. \n\nTests may also be ordered and administered individually. Below are sources of some of the commonly used tests. The first two are designed for group testing and are available for all grade levels.\n\nCalifornia Achievement Test\nSource:\nBayside School Services • 800-723-3057\nCrosspointe Educational Services • (919) 577-1238\nSoutheast Educational Associates • (540) 496-7791\nThurber's Educational Assessments• (919) 967-5282\nIowa Test of Basic Skills\nSource: \nBJU Press, Testing Service • (800) 845-5731\nPiedmont Education Services • (336) 924-2494\nWoodcock Johnson Psycho-educational Test \n(designed for individual testing and administrable to all grade levels)\nSource: \nEducational Consultants, Private Schools and Learning Centers. Check the phone book or contact your local support group leader or NCHE.

I don't know that the high schools do it to have better teams (in Texas or anywhere else).  But it definitely happens on an individual basis that the parent(s) hold back their kids (even though NOT academically necessary) so they will have a competitive advantage when it comes to sports.

looks like in 2000.  If you type "texas inflated test scores" in yahoo you get a lot of nice documentation from assorted sites

Probably.  I suggest you contact the school or school district you attended to find out.

Most schools will allow or not say anything for the use of the local school after hours or when not in use.\n   However, the best thing is the direct approach. Go to the school principal and ask him/her.\n     If there are any requirement against it they will let you know. If not they will give their ok with what ever restrictions they may have.\n     That way you will not have to worry about breaking any rules or laws and getting kicked off.

well, your 9th grade year must have been excused. \nwell, if you get working hard, you can scrap with a C average i suppose, and that is a passing grade, unless your in AP

Go to this site for information booklets...once you have the booklets, as a qualified teacher, you can make similar tests for your students to prepare them for TAKS:\nwww.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/taks/booklets/index.html - 23k -
