* For grades 2 - 7, the California STAR testing
program publishes a single
Mean Scale math score for each grade; they are presented
above.
For grades 8 -11, however, STAR employs up to eight
separate, but
overlapping, tests. Here is STAR's
explanation of the
various tests:
"Mathematics tests for
grades eight through eleven include Algebra I, Geometry,
Algebra II, and Integrated Mathematics 1, 2, and 3.
Students in grades eight and nine who were not yet
completing Algebra I took the General Mathematics CST, and
students in grades nine through eleven took the Summative
High School Mathematics Test after completing Algebra II,
Integrated Mathematics 3, or a higher math course."
For the table above,
instead of
presenting up to eighteen different figures covering
those four grades,
DHLLN has chosen one representative test for each grade
level, as
follows:
8th grade: Algebra I
9th grade: Geometry 10th grade: Algebra II 11th grade: Summative High School Math In
the table above, the grade 8 - 11 math scores are
displayed with two numbers. The bottom
number indicates the percentage of students (at that
grade level) who
took the test. The top number is those students'
Mean Scale
score.
Publishing/Printing DHLLN's STAR Table The table design is copyright© (2006) by DHLLN. However, the table may be freely copied and re-published, so long as each copy bears the URL http://www.vivahermosa.com/dhllnStarResults.html . If the table is re-published on a web site, the URL shall be a live link. The table above has been designed so that it will print on a single 8-1/2 x 11 sheet, directly from your browser, so long as you tell your printer to use the "landscape" print orientation. You may also need to hit "File" and "Page Setup" and reduce the margins. If the borderlines between cells come out too dark, try using a Netscape/Mozilla browser instead of Internet Explorer. But if you do not have access to a Netscape browser, you could save the web page to any location on your computer, then use Excel (your Microsoft spreadsheet program) to open the file, clean it up, and print it. If the lines are still too dark, highlight the entire Excel spreadsheet (Ctrl - A), then hit "Format" and "Cells" and "Border" and change the border to a very light one, or none at all. Excel may spread the table out onto several sheets of paper.
