S.T.A.R.

Standardized Testing and Reporting Program

     The tests in the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program are an important part of the state assessment system. These tests are administered each spring to measure how well students in California's public schools are achieving California content standards. These achievement tests target English-language arts and mathematics in grades two through eleven. In addition, tests in science and history-social science are given in selected grades.

     Educating students is a team effort. Parents, guardians, students, schools, and communities benefit when there is a shared responsibility for learning. To fully participate as part of this team, parents and guardians should have a thorough understanding of the role the tests in the STAR program play in making sure that all students achieve California content standards.
