About the Tests
- In 2008-2009 Nebraska used the School-based Teacher-led Assessment and Reporting System (STARS) to test students in
grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math; in grades 4, 8 and 11 in writing; and in grades 4, 5, 8 and 11 in science.
- 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.
