AK STAR testing is upon us. Many families ask, “Why should I test?” Great question. This is a great opportunity for you to see where your child is in reading and math statewide. We can then assist you in filling in any learning gaps.

With that in mind, we’ve made the test sessions simple, ready, and available now for sign-up. Tuesday and Wednesday, April 4 and 5, are the reading tests. Thursday and Friday, April 6 and 7, are the math tests. For grades 5, 8, and 10 the science assessment is March 30th.
