Star Record Book - Latest Assessments Tab

The Latest Assessments Tab of the Star Record book shows scores and other data for the following Star assessments:

• Star Reading
• Star Early Literacy
• Star Maths

1. By default, the Star Record Book opens on the Latest Assessments tab—select the Screening Comparison tab to compare screening results.
   
   Use the drop-down lists in the upper-left corner to choose which students you want to view in the Star Record Book. The available lists will change depending on your user permissions and the schools you have access to:
   
   
   • Select the subject (either Reading or Maths) and then a class or group. (Teachers can only select one of their own groups.)
     
     
   • If you have access to more than one school, you will need to select a school before selecting a class or group.
     
     
   Note that if you only have a single option available (for example, if you are a school administrator assigned to only one school, or you are a teacher who only teaches a single subject), the drop-down lists will not be active—your available option will automatically be "locked in" for you.
2. After you select the students to view, the Latest Assessment Results panel to the right of the lists will update to show the settings of the benchmarks associated with the most recent assessments taken within the chosen subject.
   
   
   In the example above, Reading is the chosen subject. The students in Ms. Morris' class have taken a mix of Star Reading and Star Early Literacy assessments. Not all the students have taken every assessment; students in the class whose most recent assessment is not of the type displayed are represented by a dashed line.
   
   The benchmarks for those assessments are shown by the colored bars. The width of the sections of the bars is a proportional indicator of the number of students in each benchmark category. Hovering over a bar gives a more specific breakdown—for instance, in the example below, of the 12 students in Ms. Morris' class, the most recent Reading assessment for 4 of them was a Star Early Literacy assessment. Of those 4 students, 2 are in the "Urgent Intervention" benchmark category (red), 1 is in "Intervention" (yellow), and 1 is in "On Watch" (blue).
   
3. If you would prefer to measure the assessments against a different benchmark, select the gear in the upper-right corner of the panel.
   
   Use the drop-down lists to select the benchmark you want to use for the available assessment types. Once you have made your changes, select Save. The Latest Assessments Results panel will update to match your choices.
4. The table on the page shows the Star assessment information in the following columns:
   
   
   • Student: Selecting a student's name will take you to the Student Details page for that student. Note the darker color of the "Student" header in the screenshot and the arrow next to the header: this means the table is sorted by students' last names, ↑ A–Z. Select the header to reverse the sort order (↓ Z–A), or select the header of another column to sort by the data in that column instead.
   • Year: The student's year.
   • The Star Adaptive column shows data from the most recent assessment of the type shown:
     
     • Score: Scaled Score (SS) and Percentile Rank (PR). To use a different scale, select the gear above the upper-right corner of the table. In the pop-up menu, select the scale you want to use. (Note: Star Maths only has one scale.)
       
     • Test Type or Measure: The specific type of assessment (Early Literacy, Reading, or Maths).
     • Date: The date when the student took the most recent assessment in the current school year.
       

       If a student has not taken an assessment of the type shown, the table cell will be blank for that student. If no students have taken an assessment of a particular type in the current school year, the column for that type of assessment will not be shown.

   • To the left of the scores is a colored square : the color indicates which benchmark category the score places the student in. If the student has moved from one benchmark category to another, an arrow appears in the square showing which direction the move was in. (Movement between benchmark categories is determined by the scores from the two most recent assessments within a one-year period, counting from the day you are viewing the Record Book to one year earlier.)
     
     Examples (assuming 4 benchmark categories):
     
              The students' score moved them up to At/Above Benchmark.
              The students' score kept them at Intervention.
              The students' score moved them down to On Watch.
     
     You may see icons to the right of a student's Star Adaptive score or a message in place of a score; hover the icons for additional information.
     

       Probable Non-Reader: Score is in the range that usually occurs when a student is randomly choosing responses.

       No Recent Test: This student's latest test is prior to the current screening window.

       Short Test Time: This student took the test in a very short time, which may affect results.

     Test	Short Test Time
     Star Early Literacy	n/a
     Star Reading	< 600 seconds (10 minutes)
     Star Maths	< 600 seconds (10 minutes)

       Test Completed: The student has just finished taking a test; the score has not been calculated yet (in this case, no score will be displayed yet and the colored square will be gray).

     Finish by [date]: The student has an incomplete test that was paused. The student should resume the test by the date shown.

     Practice not passed : The student did not pass the practice questions and was not allowed to take the test. No scores are shown for failed practices.

     Changing any of the selections you've made will automatically update the table.

5. You can create a PDF version of the table by selecting Print or Save under the table at the bottom of the page.
   
   
   
   You can download a CSV file (export-ClassStatus.csv) with all of the test data for the students in the selected class or group by selecting Download Data under the table at the bottom of the page.
   
   
   
   

   Data included in CSV file

   The CSV file includes a row for each assessment, and columns of data related to the specific type of assessment. The data columns are listed below.

   Note: Rows for all students in the selected class or group will be included in the CSV file, even if they have not taken an assessment of the selected type and are not shown in the current view of the Latest Assessments tab.

   Client ID (a short form of the name for your Renaissance site) School Name Class Name Teacher Name (for the class) Student ID Student Name Year (student's year at the time of the assessment) Activity Name (the type of assessment: Star Maths Enterprise, Star Reading Enterprise, etc.)

   Percentile Rank Time Taken (in seconds) Completed Date (based on UTC, not local time zones—for example, 2023-12-04T13:57:33.686Z would indicate a test was administered on December 4, 2023 at 1:57 pm gmt) Activity ID Application Name (name of the program the assessment was taken in)

   Unified Score Star KS2 SATs Benchmark Star School Network Benchmark Star School Benchmark Diagnostic Code Extended Time Tested at School (Yes, No, or Unknown for older assessments that do not have the information)

6. To see the historical Star data for a specific student, select that student's name in the table. This will take you to the Student Details page for that student.
