STAR stands for Student Testing and Reporting. It is an assessment system developed by Renaissance and used by thousands of public, charter, and private schools nationwide. STAR assessments are short, computer-adaptive tests designed to screen students, benchmark performance, and monitor academic growth over time.
Unlike state accountability tests, STAR is not a pass-or-fail exam and is typically not used to assign grades. Instead, it is designed to be taken multiple times throughout the school year so educators can understand where a student is academically and how that student’s skills are changing over time.
