About the Tests

  • In 2006-2007 Nebraska used the School-based Teacher-led Assessment and Reporting System (STARS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading, math and writing.
  • The results for grades 4, 8 and 11 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
  • The STARS is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nebraska.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.

  • The results for grades 4, 8 and 11 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
  • The STARS is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nebraska.
  • The different student groups were identified by the Nebraska Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
