What are Star Assessments?

Star Assessments are computer-adaptive tests (CATs) for pre-K—12 students that measure reading, math, and early literacy skills. CATs adjust based on students’ responses. If your child answers a question correctly, the next one is more difficult. If he or she answers incorrectly, the next is easier. The tests are typically completed within 20-40 minutes.

Your child’s teacher will use the data from Star Assessments to answer essential questions he or she has about your child’s learning needs and to improve academic outcomes for all the students in the class.

There are 3 testing windows:

• October 7th- October 25th
  • Week of Oct. 7th- Practice Questions 
  • Week of Oct. 14th- Reading Test
  • Week of Oct. 21st- Math Test- 
• January 6th- January 24th
• April 27th- May 15th

It is very important that your child is present at school to take the STAR Assessment.

If any student is absent, he or she will be given on another day and time to complete the test within the current window of Oct 7th-25th.
