The Renaissance STAR Assessments are crucial to my ability to not only see students' reading needs as a whole class, but it is also crucial for seeing what individual students' needs are. A STAR Assessment helps me identify critical areas where a child may be struggling and how to best meet their needs in order to see growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is easy to use and full of data. My only dislike is that I would like for there to be a way for students to log in and see their data and see their growth. I can show them the reports, but my students are mature enough that they want to know if they exceeded the last benchmark and have grown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have experience with Star, Anet, and our curriculum's testing platforms. I like that Star is computer adaptive, questions adjust to each answer child's ability level. Teachers can grab data on most students. I also like the ease of accessing and interpreting student data. There are a variety of reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Star isn't so good for students who have a scaled score above 1400. That affects a good number of our higher lrveled readers in the middle school and high school. As a result, it's hard to get reliable data on those students. Also, I wish there was better data report option for parents. The one provided isn't very helpful to parents who typically don't have an education background. The report doesn't really give a clearer understanding of how it is a student can improve his/her reading level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
