STAR Testing Begins This Week
The STAR tests are aligned to the state content standards for the subjects listed here for each grade level.
The California Board of Education determined the performance levels as:
- Advanced — This category represents a superior performance. Students demonstrate a comprehensive and complex understanding of the knowledge and skills measured by this assessment, at this grade, in this content area.
- Proficient — This category represents a solid performance. Students demonstrate a competent and adequate understanding of the knowledge and skills measured by this assessment, at this grade, in this content area.
- Basic — This category represents a limited performance. Students demonstrate a partial and rudimentary understanding of the knowledge and skills measured by this assessment, at this grade, in this content area.
- Far Below/Below Basic — This category represents a serious lack of performance. Students demonstrate little or flawed understanding of the knowledge and skills measured by this assessment, at this grade, in this content area.
The goal in California is to have all students perform at the proficient or advanced level.
Encourage your child to give his/her best effort on each test. We are asking each Mercury student to "show what you know"!
Sincerely,
Tammy Kirkpatrick
