APS EOY Assessments results? - Math Inventory, SOL, Dibels Reports...

[Anonymous]

Any idea when parents will get these? Some tests were taken a few weeks ago....

In past years elementary school kids didn’t get the SOL results, unless they failed and need to retake, until July!

Which is ridiculous since clearly they have the scores immediately. It infuriates me that they have the data and won’t share it. Sure, it might take a month or two to release the analysis of scores systemwide, but parents should get their own children’s scores.

If you have specific concerns (e.g., debating whether to enroll your child in summer school or get a reading tutor), just email the teacher and ask.

My kids screenshot their math inventory & reading inventory scores & come home & tell me. But yeah, for DIBELs, PALs, SOLs, the wait is weeks or months long.

The delay is so you can't talk to the teacher about them. Good luck and have a great summer.

Dibels and MI windows are open now so they are still being administered. We haven’t started DIBELS at my grade because we are waiting until after SOLs. SOL scores aren’t shared because they are not finalized by the state until summer. I do tell most of my students their MI scores, my class did awesome on their end of year MI so we are celebrating!

With all due respect, this sounds fishy. They know immediately if a kid fails, so they clearly have scores within hours. Massaging them and analyzing the data to get a full picture of the school system or state takes time, but they have each individual child's scores.

Yes, I'm a teacher, so I know this. But the scores we get are specifically told to us that they are "preliminary" so we are not permitted to share them until the state finalizes them. I don't know what they do with them exactly. Maybe if all the kids get one question wrong they throw that one out or something. Not sure. It's not your child's teacher hiding anything from you.

I'm PP and thank you for that explanation. Definitely not accusing teachers of everything, definitely always suspicious at APS Central Office games.
