How does AR work at CHUE?
The students take a STARS test at the beginning of the school year. The test determines a reading level in which each student will be successful. The AR program has a formula for deciding how many points are appropriate for a certain reading level for each 9 week grading period. One student's goal for the 9 weeks may be 15 points and another student's may be 28 points. It's all relative to each child's success level. The students are tested again in the middle of the year and again at the end to determine growth throughout the year. I report to the students on a weekly basis and keep a chart to show them where they are and where they need to be each week to meet their goals by the end of the nine weeks. I'll be glad to explain this further on an individual basis if you would like for me too.Back to Top

Is AR a grade?
Yes. AR is part of the Reading grade. AR itself is comprised of 2 scores. One score is for the percentage of points earned, and the other score is for the percentage of correct answers.
