📊 How to Interpret This Page
The Renaissance STAR Reading Dashboard is designed to help educators evaluate both student achievement and academic growth.
Key assessment metrics include:
- Scaled Score (SS) – The primary achievement measure used to track student performance across STAR Reading assessments.
- Percentile Rank (PR) – Indicates how the student’s performance compares to a national sample of students in the same grade.
- Student Growth Percentile (SGP) – Measures the student’s academic growth compared to students with similar prior achievement. Higher SGP values indicate stronger growth relative to academic peers.
Benchmark classifications help identify students who may require additional instructional support.
Common benchmark levels include:
- At/Above Benchmark – The student is meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations.
- On Watch – The student may benefit from additional monitoring.
- Intervention – The student may require targeted instructional support.
- Urgent Intervention – The student may require immediate intervention and intensive support.
Because Student Growth Percentile calculations require multiple assessment records, SGP values may not be available for all students.
The Renaissance STAR Reading Dashboard should be used alongside classroom performance, other assessment results, attendance, and additional student information when making instructional decisions.
