School Scores
What is STAR?
Each spring, California students in grades 2 through 11 take a series of tests through the Standardized Testing and Reporting program, more commonly known as STAR. First administered in 1998, the STAR program requires all public schools in California to test students between mid-March and mid-June of every year.
The component of the testing program included in this report consists of results for the California Standards Tests (CST). The CST consists of standards-based tests designed to show how well California students are mastering the grade-level content standards established by the state Board of Education. In grades 2 through 11, the California Standards Tests (CST) covers English-language arts and mathematics. In grades 4 and 7, the test includes a writing section. In grades 8, 10 and 11, the test adds history-social science. In grade 5, students take a science test. In grades 9 through 11 students take the California Standards Test for the math and science course (such as algebra, geometry, physics or chemistry) that they are currently enrolled in. Ninth graders who are not yet taking algebra take the General Mathematics Standards Test. Students in grades 9 and 10 who had completed Algebra II or Integrated Mathematics during a previous school year, and grade 11 students who completed one of these two courses anytime prior to the beginning of testing, are required to take the Summative High School Mathematics CST.
The performance levels for each grade and subject area are based on scaled scores that range between 150 and 600. The score dividing the basic scores from below basic is 300 for every grade and subject area. The score dividing basic scores from proficient scores is 350 for every grade and subject area. Tables that include the score range for each grade level, subject area, and performance level is available at the website listed below.
In 2005 STAR testing also included the California Achievement Test, Sixth Edition (CAT/6) for grades 3 and 7 only. This test compares California students with their peers nationwide. The remaining two components of STAR testing include the California Alternative Performance Assessment (CAPA) and the Spanish Assessment of Basic Education, edition 2 (SABE/2). Information and test results for these three tests are available at http://star.cde.ca.gov.
