STATE TESTS: STAR

The Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR) is the centerpiece of California’s accountability system. The STAR is comprised of two types of tests, each with a unique purpose. The California Standards Tests measure student mastery of the California Academic Standards. They are typically untimed tests that focus of a year’s study in a particular subject area.
