Okay, now I have a serious inquiry.  We have managed to stay out of the way 
of good old AR for many years, but "acquired" it with our new principal 3 
years ago.  On a national norm-referenced test (which we no longer give), 
how would you say the correlation would be between that and the STAR test?  
The teachers in my school say that the STAR is wildly inaccurate.  From your 
experience (all of you), what would you say about the reliability and 
validity of the STAR?



The students are not taking a norm-referenced test.  They are taking the 
STAR test.  The figures I provided are the % of students who scored below 
73% on the tests.  The students are graded on the % correct.  As our 
district has told us in the past, every student could (one administrator 
said should) score 90%.
