Our sample consisted of students at schools where Star computer-adaptive assessments were used during both the 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 school years. The sample included students from all 50 states plus DC, with 4.4 million K–12 students comprising the early literacy/reading sample and 2.9 million grade 1–12 students comprising the math sample.
Below, we provide state-level summaries for performance (MTSS Risk Categories) and growth (Student Growth Percentile). Summaries are based on the students who took Star Assessments and are not necessarily representative of the state population.
Data for this time period is unavailable for Wisconsin.

This presentation summarizes selected analyses by state and subject using Star assessment data through the end of January 2022.
