Click Star Math on the Home page, then click Screening, Progress Monitoring & Intervention.

Click View Benchmarks in the gray sidebar on the left side of the page.

If you can't click on View Benchmarks, the selected school does not have any screening dates. Make sure you see the name of the school you want to work with in the School drop-down list.
-
On the View Benchmarks page, use the School drop-down list
to choose which school to edit cut scores for.
-
Click Edit Cut Scores
.
-
On the Edit School Cut Scores page, use the drop-down lists in the row for a grade to change the PR values that define the categories for that grade. The values must be in ascending order from left to right.

In the example above (where 4 categories are used), On Watch
is automatically calculated as the range of scores between Intervention and At/Above Benchmark. The category that is automatically calculated changes depending on the number of categories used.
There can be from 2–5 categories for school benchmarks (the default number is 4). The values for some categories are automatically calculated based on the scores you choose for the other categories. The PR values for the categories (along with their default names) are shown here.
