Renaissance Star 360 Description

Renaissance Star 360® offers the most extensive suite of interim and formative assessments for pre-K–12 education, providing trustworthy screening tools, progress monitoring, and data on student growth necessary for making well-informed educational decisions. By using these assessments, educators can better facilitate student growth and guide them towards achieving mastery in state-specific learning standards across reading, math, and early literacy. Additionally, Renaissance Star Assessments® allow for accurate predictions of students’ success on state summative tests and college entrance exams, which can be explored further in the video Predicting Performance on High Stakes Tests. When students build a strong foundation in essential skills throughout elementary, middle, and high school, it significantly increases their chances of thriving in college, their careers, and beyond. Furthermore, educators can analyze performance at various levels—district, school, or grade—enabling them to assess growth metrics effectively and ensure resources are allocated to support every student’s success. This comprehensive approach ultimately fosters an environment where all students have the opportunity to excel academically and personally.

    Summary: STAR360 teaches students to skim, not read. It focuses on the lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy, creates test anxiety, and does not prepare students for a future of testing. It is a BAD assessment but the marketing - well, the marketing is just fabulous.

    Positive: Their marketing department does a great job of selling this product as an easy solve to school district to screen students.

    Negative: The STAR360 purports to provide screening and growth metrics for readers. However, the test provides NO authentic text, limits students to respond to each item within 120 seconds, does not allow the ability to review work, and also contains pre-Common Core questions stems that ask questions for basic definitions instead of critical thinking, analysis, and application. For example, students are asked to choose the definition for "foreshadowing," "conflict," etc... NO other test students will take - Illinois Assessment of Readiness, ACT, SAT, EXPLORE, PSAT, etc... ask these types of questions. ALL of these nationally normed tests DO provide authentic text and a window of time to complete their work and to review their work.
