What is Renaissance Star Assessments?

Star Assessments deliver a robust Pre-K–12 assessment ecosystem that helps educators evaluate student achievement, monitor growth, and guide instruction with accuracy and confidence. Built on more than thirty years of learning science and billions of performance data points, Star integrates computer-adaptive technology with curriculum-based measures to provide fast, trustworthy insights across reading, math, early literacy, and bilingual learning. Teachers can assess students in minutes and instantly see skill readiness, mastery indicators, and personalized learning pathways. Administrators benefit from district-, school-, and grade-level reporting that reveals growth patterns, identifies inequities, and informs data-driven decision-making. Families gain clarity through progress updates that show how their children are developing, where they may need support, and how their learning aligns with grade-level expectations. Star’s predictive analytics link results to future performance on ACT, SAT, and state summative exams, giving educators a powerful early-warning system for intervention planning. The platform also includes tools for screening dyslexia risks, supporting emergent bilingual students, and designing targeted small-group instruction. Growth metrics such as Student Growth Percentile (SGP) provide deeper insight into progress beyond raw achievement. State linking studies ensure Star aligns with state-specific standards and summative assessments across the country. Trusted by more than 34,000 schools and backed by extensive peer-reviewed research, Star empowers educators to make high-impact instructional decisions that accelerate student success.

What is Embarc?

To ensure instructional consistency, it's essential to create clear learning objectives that can be easily accessed by students and parents through an online public platform. This framework guarantees that each student experiences a uniform educational path, regardless of their teacher or the school they attend. Additionally, it allows for the gradual implementation of modifications at any time, which fosters continuous opportunities for improvement. By doing this, the need to design entirely new curricula each academic year is eliminated. Furthermore, this system enables educators to share effective strategies, activities, and resources with ease. It also encourages the exploration and replication of comprehensive courses, units, or lessons from a collective of over 500 school districts. It is crucial that the curriculum aligns with both state and national educational standards. Regular evaluations of the curriculum will be conducted to address any concerns that arise from assessments based on these standards. Monitoring the planning and execution of instruction will help ensure that students are making progress toward mastering the content. This structured approach not only enhances teaching quality but also cultivates a collaborative atmosphere for ongoing professional development among educators, ultimately benefiting student learning outcomes as well. In this way, the education system becomes more adaptable and responsive to the needs of both teachers and students alike.
