STAR Test Results

Parent Info

Each student’s test results must be reported to parents within 20 working days after the school receives them. The hard copy results will be mailed directly to the parent/student.

The results are also entered into a database program, and hard copies are stored in the Assessment Dept. files. Results will also be put into the student’s cumulative files unless parent requests not to, as indicated in the student agreement.

Individual student results are confidential and will only be seen by the parents/guardians, students, and their ES.

Parents/guardians, students, and the ES use individual STAR results to help monitor each student's academic progress. The test results are used as one tool to help make decisions regarding individual curriculum choices appropriate for your student.

Individual student results are merged into aggregate grade-level reports by subject area for each school, district, county, and the state. California Standards and CAT/6 test results are used to calculate the Academic Performance Index( API) for each school. The API, a major component of the state's accountability program, is used to rank the academic performance of schools, set targets for growth, and monitor progress over time.
