 Rita Massaro, President of Parent University

With STAR MATH, we can:

• - Assess students’ math levels in less than 15 minutes.
• - Receive accurate, reliable, norm-referenced math scores including grade equivalents, percentile ranks, and normal curve equivalents.
• - Determine the appropriate level of challenge for each student to personalize practice and individualize instruction.
• - Predict results on state and national standardized tests including ITBS, CAT, and TerraNova.
• - Save money by administering assessments throughout the school year at no extra cost.
• - Track growth in student math achievement longitudinally, facilitating the kind of growth analysis recommended by state and federal organizations.

We’ll have prizes for the top elementary and top middle school class (all based on percents, not totals). This year’s goal is $4050.
