Renaissance STAR Testing

Renaissance Star Assessments are computer-adaptive assessments that measure students’ reading and math skills, monitor achievement and growth, and track how well students understand skills aligned to state and Common Core standards. Star testing identifies students meeting grade- and term-level benchmarks in literacy and math and those needing additional support or interventions. Students take the STAR assessments three times a year, in fall, winter, and spring, to measure their progress throughout the year. 
 
STAR assessments are timed, adaptive, and administered on a computer. This means there is a time limit for each question (up to 3 minutes), and questions become more or less challenging depending on student responses (for example, if a student answers a question incorrectly, the next question may be more straightforward). Therefore, two students taking the same assessment may receive different question sets depending on their responses.
