Beauvoir 2nd Grade ERB Results

[Anonymous]

My DC aced it!

Our results did not include stanines or percentiles, either. Three years ago, for our older DC, they did. Either a mistake, or a change in policy, I don't know which.

[quote=Anonymous]Just wondering what is considered "good" when it comes to ERBs. Are all stanines 7 good or average?[/quote]

Are you a 2nd or 3rd grade parent ? Am asking because DD is in 2nd and did not receive a percentile or a stanine number, yet you say that your DC did receive a stanine.

3rd grade but received same report in 2nd grade.

I have to say I am curious about what are considered good scores. Do most people mean straight 9s or any thing 7 and above or what?

I wish we were provided this, but as we were not I googled it. The ERB posts its own stanine guide. According to this ERB site DH found:
1-3 corresponds with "developing"
4-6 corresponds with "meets expectation"
7-9 corresponds with "exceeds expectation"

Since a 9 is the top score, I assume that to get a 9 DC would have to get all the questions in that subset correct

I read on the DCUM's site that most privates want to see at least 6's however, I imagine that only applies to " otherwise qualified candidates" and everyone else better get 8's and 9's.

St. Albans wants to see at least 5's but that I agree with the above poster that those scores reflect an "otherwise qualified candidate."

I assume you mean to say that DC did not miss a single question on the entire exam. That is great! You must be very pleased,though I imagine not surprised, as I'm sure DC has always been way ahead of grade level, CTY,etc... Would you mind sharing if DC is 2nd or 3rd grade and ,if 3rd grade, what stanine did getting none wrong on the entire exam correspond with as I am curious if say 300% of class got none wrong or only 15% class completely "aced" it or what.

So, based on the posts on this site it seems 3rd grade were assigned a stanine , but not a percentile in the class and 2nd grade were only given,"meets"," exceeds" or "developing" this year , but neither stanine nor percentile in the class.

I just received my 2nd grade DS ERBs as well. It looks as though they are trying to de-emphasize the scores based on the accompanying letter and the lack of stanine information.

With my other child, I received the stanine information in both 2nd and 3rd grade but never the percentile in the Beauvoir class. Has anyone ever gotten a class percentile?

Also for 2nd grade parents, know that the scores generally improve from 2nd to 3rd grade as there are items on the test that have not yet been covered.

Thanks, above poster. Do you mind sharing in a very general way what last years "exceeds expectation" and "meets expectation" corresponded with as a stanine. I "get it "that each class will be different,but
say for example, DC got 6/8 in a subset, but was classified as a "meets" for that subset, but a child could get as few as 4/8 to receive a "meets" for that particular subset, did that 6/8 correspond with a 5th or a 6th stanine in the past? I assume a 4/8 would be a 4th stanine, a 5/8 a 5th stanine and a 6/8 a 6th stanine and to get a I assume that to get a 7 th stanine 7/8 correct and 8/8 for 9th stanine9 stanine , but DH says no, it depends on the class as a whole. DH also insists that 9/9 might qualify for "exceeds" ,but might not qualify as 9th stanine,depending on the grade as a whole and whether we are talking about reading subsets or math subsets. With your years of experience would you mind sharing?

I thought that the CTR 4,level 1 was specifically designed to test up to 3rd month of 2nd grade and the 3rd grade ERB( CTR 4,level 2) tests up to 3rd month of 3rd grade so all the material should be covered before the test. Is this not the case?

PP here. I agree with this but in the past it was my understanding that B curriculum did not always match up with at least the math section. Also the improvement is probably based on general test taking familiarity in 3rd versus 2nd. My other child for example was 6 - 8 IN stanines in 2nd grade and 8 - 9 IN stanines in 3rd.

If you are still out there ,would you mind posting the raw scores with the corresponding stanine and percentiles for the 2009 grade 2 ERB . This would greatly help 2010 2nd grade parents evaluate the curriculum. Thanks.

The ERB's are one test. The ERB is not correlated specifically to your school's curriculum or pacing (do you want your child's school 'teaching to the ERB?). Go ahead and raise questions about your school's math curriculum and approach, but don't base those questions about curriculum on the results from one unrelated test.
The proof is in the pudding--is your child excited about math? Showing a progression in number sense? Have you investigated the theory behind your child's math curriculum and does it make sense in the long run (the long run matters; look how MoCo has gone full circle with its accelerated math program and is now back-peddling completely). The 2nd grade ERB does not count for outplacement; is your school's curriculum preparing your child in foundations of math for tests down the road that will? Are your child's teacher's skilled and competent (any math program depends on that). How is your child doing on a variety of formal and informal assessments including the ERBs, but also those that you conduct at the dinner table? Please take the ERB's with a grain of salt.
