1. STAR Testing - Resources to help your students succeed on STAR test.
Every Spring students at Orland Unified School District in grades two through eleven participate in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. STAR is designed as an assessment tool to measure students knowledge and skills that are identified in the California content standards.
