Standardized Testing and Reporting Program
SAT9 Parent
Report
A new feature has added to the STAR Parent Report. In
the lower left hand corner of the report is a California Reading
List Number. The number is tied to your child's reading comprehension
score on the Stanford 9. The numbers range from 1-13 and correspond to a
suggested list of books ranging from very simple (#1) to the most
difficult(#13). For more information regarding this number and booklists
tailored to your student's reading ability, see the California STAR
website at: http://www.startest.com.

History of STAR program
The STAR program was authorized by Senate Bill (SB) 376 in October
1997. As required by statute, the California State Board of Education designated a test
for use in the STAR program. The Stanford Achievement Test Series, Ninth Edition,
Form T (Stanford 9), was designated as the 1998 STAR test in November 1997. The Stanford 9
is a multiple-choice test that allows comparisons to be made to a national sample of
students. School districts in California were required to test all students in grades 2
through 11, inclusive, between March 15, 1998 and May 25, 1998. The only exemptions
allowed by SB 376 were for special education students whose Individual Education Plans
(IEPs) explicitly exempted them from such testing and for students whose parent or
guardian submitted a written request for exemption. Students in grades 2 through 8 were
required to be tested in reading, mathematics, written expression, and spelling. Students
in grades 9 through 11 were required to be tested in reading, writing, mathematics,
science, and history/social science.
In 1999 two additions were made to the STAR program.
Test items were added in language arts and mathematics in order to create two additional
tests, the STAR augmentation; and the SABE/2 was designated by the State Board of
Education for use with Spanish speaking limited English proficient students.
