Binders/Folders may include:

  • Current STAR Reading Reports

  • Current STAR Math Reports

  • Textbook Placement Assessment Summary

  • Additional Assessments (classroom)

  • Additional Program Placement - End of Year Summary (STMath, ALEKS, etc.)

Renaissance Star Assessments

Renaissance Star Assessments are computer-adaptive tests (CATs) for pre-K—12 students that measure reading, math, and early literacy skills.

CATs are computer-adaptive tests that adjust based on students’ responses. If your student answers a question correctly, the next one is more difficult. If he or she answers incorrectly, the next is easier.

Teachers use the data from Star Assessments to answer essential questions he or she has about their student’s learning needs and to improve academic outcomes for all the students in the class.

Star results are used to:

  • Measuring general achievement in reading, math, or early literacy

  • Identifying what skills a student is ready to learn

  • Helping plan instructional support activities

  • Tracking progress toward academic targets

  • Estimating student proficiency on state tests

  • Estimating student mastery of standards

  • Monitoring student intervention progress
