I would appreciate teacher/ librarian information regarding the pro's and con's of ReadnQuiz, if anyone is willing to share. Feel free to contact me off list.

We use ReadnQuiz and have been very happy for the past 4 years.  They don't have a STAR test, though so the kids need to know their lexile  or reading levels.

I know your pain. The pricing is becoming ridiculous. I keep thinking they are surely pricing themselves out of the market. I have argued with the folks at Renaissance Learning repeatedly over this.

I know this has been discussed before but I couldn't find it in the new archives, so please forgive the repetition.  What are other districts using instead of Accelerated Reader?  We currently use AR for K-8 but are feeling uncomfortable with the price increases the last couple years.  Have you found any successful alternatives that are more affordable?  Thanks in advance!
