This is good to know. It is true for both reading and math? At our first meeting at DD8's new school they said they were planning to assess with the STAR to determine levels for her, but it if starts 1-2 levels below grade and caps at 3 above starting, that won't be useful at all. smirk

Just to follow up, I didn't manage to talk to DD's teacher before they did the STAR. I got results for the reading portion which give DD a PR of 99 with the instructional reading level of 11.3. I doubt they started her at grade 8, so it apparently didn't have problem moving upward. No scaled score, unfortunately.
