This guide explains the information that is presented in the Family Portal, Star Student Report, and/or Star Parent Report:  \n• Unified Scale Scores  \n• FAST Equivalent Scores  \n• Percentile Rank  \n• State and District Benchmarks  \nUnified Scale Scores  \nThe Star Unified Scale provides scores on a consistent, common scale across all Star computer-adaptive assessments: Star Early Literacy, Star Reading, and Star Mathematics. The Star Unified Scale spans the entire range of skills measured by both Star Early Literacy and Star Reading, making it easier for educators to measure student achievement and growth as students transition from emergent readers to independent readers.  \nThe Unified Scale Score can be found on Star reports, but not in the Family Portal.  \nFAST Equivalent Scores  \nThe FAST progress monitoring system is coordinated from grades VPK–10, it is important to show where a student’s K–2 Unified Scale score falls when reported on the B. E.S.T. scale using FAST Equivalent Scores. FAST Equivalent Scores link the B. E.S.T. scale with the Unified scale to show how your student is performing relative to the FAST Grades 3–10 assessments. It is important to note that, for PM1 and PM2, your student may not yet be at grade level on the B. E.S.T. scale; however, this does not necessarily indicate that a student is not on track to succeed. These results provide baseline (PM1) and mid-year (PM2) results for informational purposes only and should be used to identify areas that may need additional instruction and support.  \nThe Star Unified scale is wider than the B. E.S.T. scale and has a greater range of scores. As a result, when these two scales were linked, there are cases where multiple Star Unified scores map to a single FAST Equivalent Score. Because of this, some scores on the lower end of the scale map to a FAST Equivalent Score of zero. Similarly, some Star Unified scores map to the maximum possible FAST Equivalent Score. For score interpretation, a zero FAST Equivalent Score does not mean a student has not learned anything; likewise, a student scoring the maximum FAST Equivalent Score does not necessarily mean a student has full mastery of content.  \nThe FAST Equivalent Score can be found on Star Student Report and in the Family Portal.  \nFamily Portal Dashboard Example  \nPercentile Rank  \nThe Percentile Rank (PR) ranges from 1-99 and compares student performance to other students in the same grade nationwide. For a particular student, this score indicates the percentage of students in the norms group who obtained lower scores. For example, if your student earned a Percentile Rank of 65, your student performed better on that assessment than 65% of other students who took the same assessment. Only one percentile rank is reported based on the Unified Scale score.  \nThis percentile rank can be found on Star reports and in the Family Portal.  \nState and District Benchmarks  \nState benchmarks presented in the Family Portal are static and not time-adjusted, meaning they are compared to end-of-school-year expectations. The state benchmarks place student performance within the five achievement levels on the B. E.S.T. scale. Similar to the FAST equivalent score, this information helps teachers and families determine where a student’s performance falls on the B. E.S.T. reporting scale.  \nNote: The color-coding shown above and in the Family Portal is different than the color-coding on Renaissance reports.  \nDistrict benchmarks, which are time-adjusted, help teachers determine appropriate instruction for different groups of students, based on how they are performing at that point in the schoolyear, compared to their grade-level peers.
