More than 25,000 students across the state of Ohio will benefit from Star Reading and Star Math

Bloomington, Minn. (Jan. 28, 2021) – Renaissance, the global leader in pre-K–12 education technology, announced that the Ohio Department of Education selected Star Reading and Star Math for the state’s assessment of reading and mathematics for dropout prevention and recovery community school students.

The state sought a nationally norm-referenced assessment that measures growth in reading and mathematics appropriate for high school students in dropout prevention and recovery community schools.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Ohio Department of Education and educators in Ohio again,” said Laurie Borkon, Vice President of Government Affairs at Renaissance. “Now more than ever, it’s critical that we prevent students from slipping through the cracks as more and more schools switch between remote and in-person learning environments.”

Trusted by more than 29,000 schools across the United States and highly rated by the National Center on Intensive Intervention, Star Reading and Star Math enable educators to quickly gain accurate insights into student learning, growth, and achievement—so they can help all students reach their full potential.
