Star Renaissance Diagnostic and Progress Monitoring Assessments

Star Renaissance Assessments for grades TK-12 are administered in the fall, winter, and spring. Star Renaissance Assessments in Early Literacy, Reading and Math measure students' skills at the beginning, middle, and end of the year compared to grade-level standards. The Star Assessments are adaptive tests administered individually on the computer. The Star Assessment is not our only data source to guide instruction and monitor student progress and growth. However, the Star Assessments are useful, standards-based measures and are predictive of student performance on the end-of-year CAASPP.

In order for us to make the necessary instructional, programmatic, and student support adjustments within the school year, we need to incorporate local assessments that are predictive of state assessments. As you examine your student’s scores, please remember that these are diagnostic and not summative tests. They measure progress toward what your child should master by the end of the year. Students are not expected to have mastered all these standards at the start of the school year or after half a school year's instruction. This data provides a better understanding of what skills your student has mastered and allows educators to differentiate their instruction to better address the educational needs of your student.

The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is part of the state testing program. California has chosen the FITNESSGRAM® as the annual PFT for students in public schools. The FITNESSGRAM® is a comprehensive health-related fitness test developed by The Cooper Institute.

All students in grades five, seven, and nine are tested.

The FITNESSGRAM® has five fitness areas:

• Aerobic Capacity
• Abdominal Strength and Endurance
• Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility
• Upper Body Strength and Endurance
• Flexibility

The PFT is administered between February and May. You will receive additional information from your school about the specific dates and times of testing.

More information about the PFT can be found on the California Department of Education PFT web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/pf/. For more information about your child's scores, contact your child's teacher and/or the school office.
