It’s critical to know as soon as possible which students are on track to graduate ready to meet the challenges of college or career and which ones may need additional help. The earlier in the school year—and, perhaps more importantly, the earlier in a student’s academic career—that educators get this information, the more opportunities they have to provide extra support, personalize instruction, and ultimately accelerate learning.
Enter each student's Star Reading Enterprise scaled score. Click the Add student button or press the Tab key to create a new student.

In the above table, each student will have one of two indicators in the “{{chartBenchmark.name}}” column:
The green “on track” indicator signals a student is likely on target to meet or exceed the SAT benchmark. These students should strive to maintain or increase performance to keep on track for college and career success.
The yellow “below” indicator signals a student may not be on track to meet the SAT benchmark. These students should focus on improving performance in order to get on track for college and career success.

This describes a student’s performance in comparison to the estimated pathway of achievement for . The bar chart below the table arranges student scores from highest to lowest (and is not in the same order as the table) to show the distribution of students in comparison to the estimated benchmark for your selected grade and month (represented by the gray line).
Both ACT and the College Board have set college and career readiness benchmarks for their college entrance exams to help identify students who are more likely to achieve success in college or career.1 However, many students don’t take these assessments until their junior year of high school, giving educators little time to improve student performance.
Researchers at Renaissance have linked Star Reading and Star Math to the ACT college admissions test for English, reading, and mathematics as well as the SAT college admissions test for evidence-based reading and writing (ERW) and mathematics. (For more information about the linking process, download the technical reports for the ACT and SAT.)
Starting in sixth grade, you can enter students’ Star scores into this free tool to see if they are on track to reach college and career readiness benchmarks on both the ACT and the SAT.
If you don’t have Renaissance Star Assessments, you’re not only missing the opportunity to see if students are on track for ACT and SAT success—you’re also missing the chance to predict student scores on your state assessments! In 20 minutes or less, Star Assessments can give you rich insights into student learning and accurate predictions of future achievement.
Get started by exploring Renaissance Star 360®, the most comprehensive pre-K–12 interim and formative assessment suite available. Star 360 includes computer-adaptive assessments for reading, math, and early literacy—all in both English and Spanish—as well as fixed-form tests for formative assessment.
