New data in SD-STARS
The SD-STARS team has been busy loading new data for SD-STARS users over the summer.
Almost all state assessments now appear in SD-STARS reports. This includes the following:
- South Dakota English Language Arts Assessment (SD-ELA)
- South Dakota English Language Arts Alternate Assessment (SD-ELA Alt)
- South Dakota Mathematics Assessment (SD-MATH)
- South Dakota Mathematics Alternate Assessment (SD-MATH Alt)
- South Dakota English Language Proficiency Assessment (SD-ELP)
- South Dakota English Language Proficiency Alternate Assessment (SD-ELP Alt)
Results for the state assessments can be viewed in any of the reports under the Assessment Reports category in SD-STARS.
The SD Science and SD Science Alt will appear later this fall. The cut scores will be set, and data made available in November, but the SD-STARS reports may need to be updated to display science data. In other words, it may take a bit longer for science data to display in assessment reports.
Besides state assessment results, the June ACT file was loaded. This file contains tests taken up to April 2021. Users can view the new ACT results by running the ACT Stoplight report under the Assessment Reports category in SD-STARS. The spring 2020-21 dual credit data was also loaded. Users can view the results by running any of the dual credit reports located under the CTE Reports category in SD-STARS.
