Grammar checkers are often unreliable. That is not a run-on sentence.
Teachers are now teaching students the information that is necessary for them to do well on high staked tests-not the curriculum that should be taught.
The dash adds punch and causes it not to be a run on.
Or, you could write this:
Teachers are now teaching students the information that is necessary for them to do well on high staked tests, which is not the curriculum that should be taught.
But I like the sentence with the dash better!
