Transitioning to the Unified Scale for Star Assessments

This guide details the transition from the Enterprise Scale to the Unified Scale for Star Assessments within the Renaissance Growth Platform. The Unified Scale serves as the default measurement for Star Reading, Star Early Literacy, and Star Math assessments, maintaining consistent student benchmark categories, percentile ranks, and growth norms. The Unified Scale is designed to facilitate easier comparisons between Star Early Literacy and Star Reading, as it encompasses the entire skill range measured by both assessments. The document explains that the Enterprise Scale will no longer be available after site updates, encouraging users to familiarize themselves with the Unified Scale. It also addresses concerns for parents and guardians, clarifying that only the scale is changing while normative data remains unchanged. Additionally, it outlines the process for comparing historical reports using both scales, ensuring users can still access relevant data from previous years.
