STAR Test Results for Spring 2026
Check out these scores! A second-grade class just got their results back from taking the STAR test in March.
These scores show that 100% of the students tested as proficient for grade 2. But even more impressive – 58% of the students were above grade level! This included several neurodiverse students.
Great job, Ms. Faul! And another testimony to the incredible effectiveness of the RightStart Math curriculum!
Elizabethtown – Kentucky
MAP Test Results for December 2024
A small school started using RightStart Math at the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year. In September, prior to starting RightStart Math, the students took the MAPS test. Then, in December 2024, after just three months of using RightStart Math, they took the test again and had phenomenal student MAP test results!
Two of the most significant math test results were:
STUDENT A: September 2024 – scored 158 December 2024 – scored 171 (an increase of 13 points)
STUDENT B: September 2024 – scored 183 December 2024 – scored 196 (an increase of 13 points)
Quote from the teacher: We are LOVING the results, and the kids are having FUN while doing math!
We will continue to use RightStart as long as I’m here!
