WHAT IS THE STAR ASSESSMENT?

The STAR Reading Enterprise is an assessment that measures reading and math achievement using skills-based test items. Students answer 34 computer-adapted test items per subject aligned to the CCGPS. The assessments provide reliable and valuable RTI and instructional data.

WHAT DOES THE DATA TELL US?

Students are making progress across grade levels.

Comparison to BOY:

o Intervention and Urgent Intervention students have

decreased by half among 3rd and 4th Math and Reading and

5th Grade Math. This indicates that some students have

moved out intervention and above benchmark.

o The percentage of Intervention and Urgent Intervention

students for 5th Grade Reading decreased slightly. This data

led to a review of intervention and instructional practices

to determine why students are not responding and

considerations for improvement.

o Place emphasis on “On Watch” students and those just

above proficiency and adjust core instruction.

Intervention 1 Students: These were the Intervention and Urgent

Intervention students based on the BOY screener. This group of regular

education students were placed in intervention, given a set data-based

goal, and regularly tracked. Although some students are placed in

intervention for MOY, they demonstrated growth and mastery of their

goal. 88% of Math and 98% of Reading students showed growth.

How many Intervention 1 students met or exceeded the MOY

benchmark?

o 3rd

Grade: 71% Math, 28% Reading

o 4th Grade: 69% Math, 23% Reading

o 5th

Grade: 29% Math, 18% Reading

Special Education Students: Students with disabilities who scored in the

Intervention and Urgent Intervention range were also placed in

intervention and progress monitored through the STAR program.

How many Special Education students met or exceeded the MOY

benchmark?

o 3rd Grade: 35% Math, 50% Reading

o 4th

Grade: 63% Math, 31% Reading

o 5th Grade: 35% Math, 35% Reading

STUDENT GROWTH PERCENTILE REPORT

The Student Growth Percentile (SGP) Report

is one of the most useful tools for data-

driven instruction. This report shows growth

data between fall and winter benchmark

testing. We realize that it is more significant

to analyze growth rather than strictly

determine student progress based on a

benchmark goal. We want to answer

questions such as “Did my students grow

from one testing period to another?” and

“Which students do I need to be concerned

about?” The following chart compares

students that demonstrated growth with

those that did not in all grade levels.

School Demographics Total Number of Students: 587 Grade 3: 206, 111 Male 95 Female, 72 African American, 5 Hispanic, 5 Multi, 124 White Grade 4: 181, 85 Male 96 Female, 1 Asian, 65 African American, 2 Hispanic, 3 Multi, 110 White Grade 5: 200, 98 Male 102 Female, 3 Asian, 69 African American, 4 Hispanic, 3 Multi, 121 White Free Reduced Lunch: 79.59% Total Number of Gifted Students: 60 Total Number of Students with Disabilities: 65 Total Number of ELL Students: 2

TARGET STATEMENTS: WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE AT THE END OF THE YEAR?

Students will achieve aligned individual intervention goals

based on data from the STAR assessments.

Teachers will be well-versed in the CCGPS curriculum and

implement “next” practices to effectively instruct all students.

Teachers will receive relevant professional learning to gain

confidence in the content and methodology of implementing

CCGPS using the Rigorous/Relevant Framework.

The majority of students will meet and exceed on CRCT.

Trained and rehearsed in a systematic approach regarding

consistently collecting and analyzing data and modifying

instructional practices based on student progress.

Social studies and Science instruction will improve at all grade

levels. Students will be able to meet and exceed on the CRCT.

WHAT INTERVENTIONS ARE IN PLACE TO ENSURE ACADEMIC SUCCESS?

Data-driven instruction

Review of progress monitoring data every 6 weeks

STAR Progress Monitoring

Scaffold and adapt instruction using STAR instructional

planning based on core learning progressions and

intervention goals

Reading and math practice using the computer-based

program Study Island

Classroom Interventions: small group and individual support

2 Intervention para-professionals and 1 EIS para-

professional

Extended Learning Time (ELT) for 3rd and 5th grade

Use data analysis to determine students who are just above

and below proficiency and provide core strategies to foster

success such as collaboration, active learning, real world

application, awareness of learning styles, variety of

assessments, and immediate feedback.
