See the future, change the future

Imagine what you could accomplish if, early in the school year, you knew which students were on track for proficiency on your state test—and which were likely to fall short. What instructional changes would you make? What additional support would you provide to struggling learners?

Star Assessments give you this insight, along with embedded tools and resources to support targeted instruction. Plus, you can easily track students’ progress over the course of the school year, providing an up-to-the-minute view of each learner’s growth and achievement.

Prepare every student for college and career success

For many students, taking the ACT or SAT is a major event and has a significant impact on their plans for the future.

Yet many students don’t take the ACT or SAT until their junior year of high school, leaving little time to address skill deficits and improve performance. With Star Assessments, you’ll know early in the school year—in fact, as early as grade 6—whether students are on track to meet ACT and SAT college readiness benchmarks. The result: More time to adjust instruction, provide extra support, and help every student focus on the path ahead.
