Star assessments offer valuable insights into a student’s academic progress. They are sophisticated, computer-adaptive tests that precisely measure a student’s achievement in reading and mathematics. What makes these assessments particularly effective is their dynamic nature – they adjust in real-time to a student’s response.
Here's how the process works: As student progresses through the assessment, each response helps determine the difficulty level of the subsequent question. A correct answer prompts a more challenging question, while an incorrect response leads to a more accessible one. This continuous adjustment ensures that each student is evaluated at their appropriate skill level.
This personalized approach serves two crucial purposes: it prevents students from becoming frustrated by questions beyond their current abilities while also ensuring they have the opportunity to demonstrate their full potential. The result is a highly accurate measurement of a student’s current achievement level in these fundamental academic areas.
The data gathered from these assessments helps our faculty make informed instructional decisions to support your child's academic growth. We can identify areas of strength to build upon and pinpoint specific skills that may need additional attention.
