How do I get to this page?
- Log in to Renaissance.
- On the Home page, select one of the following programs: Star Reading, Star Early Literacy or Star Maths.
- In the drop-down list, select Data Insights.
Who can do this with default user permissions?

- Teachers: view data for their own classes
Star Data Insights let you see how many students are being screened using Star assessments during a specific school network screening window. For each assessment type, you can explore the data further, breaking it down by school or year.
- On the Star Data Insights page, use the School, Screening Period and Products drop-down lists to choose what data appears on the page.
- School network users can select any schools in the district. School users and teachers can only select a school they are assigned to; if you are only assigned to one school, you will not need to make a selection (you can choose Select All/Clear All at the bottom to tick or remove the tick from all the schools at once)
- The screening periods available are school network screening windows in the current school year. Data will update only within the active screening window dates. Once the screening window has ended, data for that window will no longer be updated.
- Data for all your available Star Reading, Star Early Literacy and Star Maths products are shown by default; to change the products shown, select the Products drop-down list and make sure the products you want to see are ticked (you can choose Select All/Clear All at the bottom to tick or remove the tick from all the products at once). Note: Insights for Star Maths do not include Algebra or Geometry.
- After you make your selections, the Data Insights page will automatically update. Each program will have a panel showing how many students in the selected school(s) have completed an assessment, both as a percentage and as a number.
How are screening rates calculated?
Screening rates (SR) are calculated as:
SR = SScr / (SElg – SNp)
where
SScr = students screened
SELg = students eligible for screening (assigned to a class with an assigned product; enrollment figures are updated nightly)
SNp = students who are not participating in screening (based on the setting of students' Non-Participation status)
Note: If a student is marked as a non-participant but still takes a test, that student would not be included in the list of students screened (SScr).
- The number of years included in the data calculations is shown in the upper-right corner of each panel. To change this, select the number of years; in the pop-up list, tick years you want to include, or remove the tick from those you do not want to include. You can also use the Select All/Clear All link at the bottom to tick or remove the tick from all of the years at once. After making your selections, click off to the side of the pop-up list to close it. The data on the tile will automatically update based on the years you have selected.
- Select Explore the data at the bottom of a panel to see the information in tabular form.
