California Standardized Testing & Reporting (STAR)



STAR 9 is a nationally normed multiple- choice achievement test. School districts are required to administer the STAR Testing to all students in grades 2 through 11, except for those students whose Individual Education Plans (IEPs) explicitly exempt them, or students whose parent or guardian submits a written request to exempt the student. In grades 2 through 8 students are tested in reading, spelling, written expression, and mathematics. In grades 9 through 11 testing is required in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and history/social science.
