Star Assessments are Quincy School District's K-12, districtwide formative assessments. Star tests are short tests that provide teachers with learning data. Star tests are computer adaptive, which means they adjust to each answer a student provides. This helps teachers get the best data in the shortest amount of testing time (about one-third of the time other tests take). Use the Renaissance STAR Assessment Reporting tool to:
Create detailed, customizable reports on Star Assessment data
View data by Grade Equivalent, Percentile Rank, etc
Disaggregate data by content strand, race, gender, or program
Historical and trend data available
