STAR is associated with Accelerated Reader. Our Middle School bought into AR once upon a principal and don't use the AR testing but have retained the testing. I have no personal experience, but the MS principal and staff do not feel it is effective in predicting reading issues. It is also computerized, gives reading levels.
