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.
