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 OnCourse Assessment?

OnCourse Assessment offers a dynamic, technology-driven platform that allows students to effectively demonstrate their knowledge while providing rapid and clear data insights. Although creating high-quality assessments is vital for successful teaching, designing the ideal test can often be a daunting task. OnCourse Assessment stands out by improving the relevance and coherence of each evaluation. It makes the development of top-tier assessment tasks more manageable, covering aspects like standard alignment, the creation of tech-enhanced questions, and the validation of results. Nevertheless, even the most meticulously designed assessments can fall short if the resulting data is not effectively applied. Rather than having staff labor through extensive spreadsheets, OnCourse’s interactive data dashboards enable educators to pinpoint the most effective methods for refining instruction and curriculum. This platform allows for the creation of assessments that are tailored to the needs of modern classrooms, featuring over 70 distinct technology-enhanced item templates that encourage critical thinking as students demonstrate their comprehension. Moreover, this forward-thinking strategy not only simplifies the assessment process but also equips teachers with the ability to make data-driven decisions rooted in actionable insights, ultimately enhancing educational outcomes. With OnCourse, educators can ensure that they are not only testing knowledge but also fostering deeper understanding among their students.
