Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)

Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) refers to a system used in California to assess student performance in core subjects like English, math, science, and social science. These standardized tests aim to measure students' knowledge and skills against specific educational standards. The results help educators, parents, and policymakers understand how well students are learning and where improvements may be needed. STAR assessments are typically administered annually to students in grades 2 through 11, providing valuable data that can influence teaching strategies and educational resources. Ultimately, the goal is to improve educational outcomes and ensure students are prepared for future challenges.
