Launching STAR Testing at The Hive

The Homeschool Hive Now Offers STAR Renaissance Testing for Homeschool Families

At The Homeschool Hive, we’re always looking for ways to empower families with the tools they need to create confident, thriving learners. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we are now offering STAR Renaissance Testing—a trusted, nationally recognized assessment option—exclusively for homeschool families!

What Is STAR Renaissance Testing?

STAR Renaissance assessments are research-based, adaptive tests that measure your child’s academic progress in reading and math. Used by thousands of schools across the country, STAR tests provide valuable insights into your students’ strengths, growth areas, and overall achievement level.

Because the tests adjust in real time based on each student’s responses, they deliver a highly personalized measure of ability—without the stress or rigidity of traditional standardized testing.

Meets Florida Requirements for PEP & UA Scholarship Families

STAR Renaissance Testing at The Homeschool Hive isn’t just informative—it’s practical and compliant.

• PEP Annual Testing Requirement:
  STAR testing meets the annual assessment requirement for Florida Personalized Education Program (PEP) students, providing families with a reliable, accepted option for year-end documentation.

• UA Scholarship Option:
  STAR results may also be used for UA Scholarship students in lieu of an educational evaluation, offering families a streamlined, data-driven alternative that saves time while still meeting program expectations.

We help ensure your results are properly administered and documented so you can submit them with confidence.

Why Homeschool Families Love STAR

Homeschool families often want a way to track learning progress, ensure grade-level readiness, or meet state reporting requirements—without sacrificing flexibility or peace of mind. STAR Renaissance testing offers:

• Quick & Painless: Each assessment takes only 20–30 minutes and can be completed on your own time, without a proctor.

• Accurate Insights: See how your child compares to national benchmarks and track year-over-year progress.

• Confidence for the Journey: The data helps you make informed curriculum choices and celebrate your child's growth.

What Makes The Homeschool Hive Different?

Many organizations offer STAR testing, but The Homeschool Hive offers support before, during, and after the test.

In addition to having a Florida-certified teacher and experienced homeschool mom overseeing testing, we are proud to offer something truly unique:

🌟 A Team of 10 Experienced Teachers — and a Complimentary Consultation

The Homeschool Hive is supported by a team of 10 qualified educators who are passionate about walking alongside homeschool families. Every STAR testing family receives a 25-minute complimentary consultation to review results and plan next steps.

During this consultation, our team will help you:

• Identify strengths, gaps, and instructional priorities

• Discuss curriculum options and learning strategies

• Create a clear, realistic plan for what comes next

This level of personalized guidance is what sets The Homeschool Hive apart. We don’t just hand you data—we help you use it.

Take It Further: Optional Personalized Instruction Planning

This consultation transforms test results into a meaningful roadmap for your homeschool—helping you plan with confidence and clarity.
