Explore the world’s largest annual study of K–12 student reading habits. The new 15th anniversary edition shows you the most popular books at each grade level, exciting new titles, and much more.
Increase math mastery with actionable insight into each student’s skills and subskills—whether you’re teaching in-person, remotely, or hubrid. For universal screening, progress monitoring, goal setting, and more.
Unlock every student’s inner mathematician
Whether you are testing in person, remotely, or a combination of both, use Star Math data to connect each student at every grade level with the concepts they need for future success.
Whether assessing in person or remotely, Star Math puts assessment data to work for educators, so teachers can spend less time analyzing results and more time differentiating instruction.
Get recommended groupings of students based on both their scaled scores and benchmark categories, or create your own groups for more effective small-group instruction.
Put math assessment in action with Star Math’s instructional planning tools, which identify the specific skills students are ready to work on and provide instructional resources to teach those skills.
Get every student on track for success
There’s no need to over-test students: Star Math can help place students into content from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Edmentum™, Classworks®, and more, eliminating the need for separate placement tests for different instructional programs.

STATE LINKING STUDIES FOR STAR ASSESSMENTS
With Star, you can forecast which students are on track to perform well on your state’s summative test as early as fall—giving you ample time to intervene early and help get all students on track for success.
Select your state and review the state study
Star Math measures students’ ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. This domain also covers primes, square roots, percents, and numerical expressions.
Students are asked to graph points and functions, evaluate variables, solve linear and nonlinear equations, simplify expressions, and complete other key algebraic tasks.
Star Math measures students’ ability to identify shapes, lines, and angles; determine and convert measurements; tell time; calculate the perimeter, area, volume, and surface area of shapes; and determine missing measurements or dimensions.
Students are asked to read and answer questions about charts, tables, and graphs; calculate mean and median; make estimates and determine probabilities; and visually represent data sets.
Unlike any other K-12 assessment, Renaissance created learning progressions specifically for English and Spanish. You’ll be able to identify the skills students know in both languages and help chart a path to move them towards mastery.
Assess math skills across multiple domains
Lead students toward math proficiency and mastery with a research-based, state-specific learning progression for math. It shows you the continuum of math strategies, skills, and sub skills needed for students to achieve grade-level math proficiency in your state.

Math assessment test FAQs
Star Math can be administered on a computer or tablet. The test is adaptive, which means that the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the student’s answers. The test takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete.
Star Math measures a student’s math skills in a variety of areas, including number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and probability. It provides information about a student’s strengths and weaknesses in these areas and can help teachers identify areas where students may need additional support.
Star Math includes a variety of question types, such as multiple-choice, short answer, and fill-in-the-blank. The questions are designed to assess a student’s understanding of mathematical concepts, problem-solving abilities, and computational skills.
Star Math provides a scaled score that ranges from 0 to 1400. The score indicates a student’s overall math performance, with higher scores indicating higher levels of proficiency.
The results of the Star Math can be used to inform instruction and support student learning. Teachers can use the results to identify areas where students need additional support, provide targeted instruction, and monitor progress over time. Schools and districts can use the results to evaluate the effectiveness of their math programs and make data-driven decisions about curriculum and instruction.
Star Assessments provide a very precise picture of current skill levels… Star Assessments use color-coded displays as well as at-risk criteria, which can be altered, to illustrate important data. In Star Assessments, it’s easy to see those changes, monitor growth, and set criteria for making decisions.
