Strong NNAT, bombed the iReady

[Anonymous]

My first grader recently bombed her spring iReady - 20 - 30% range in both. Her NNAT was 151, mostly 4's on her report card, we generally felt like she was AAP bound. Her teachers were not at all concerned about it, and said that she's doing fine and is progressing. FWIW, the week they were administered, she was tardy every morning as she was recovering from a pretty severe illness that had her at home the week before. But from what I've read on this forum, they are taken into account for her AAP application. I don't know if I should shrug it off or be more concerned (and it feels extra ridiculous to be worrying about a first grader's test scores, but that's FFC for you).

151 NNAT is absurdly high. Assuming her normal classroom performance and other test scores are consistent with that score, she will be fine.

My kid had very high nnat (140+) cogat (130+) and usually in the 90's percentiles on iready. Did not get into AAP. Make sure to tell her to kiss up to teacher next year because only thing that seems to matter is GBRS.

Teach your kid to be serious about Iready. If Iready score and nnat/cogats score don’t match it probably makes aart think your kid just heavily prepared. Report card is not important (if you have a lot of 1 or 2 it’s a concern) unless it shows level 2 or above grade level on it.

Only The I-ready score from the fall of second grade goes into the application. Don’t worry about it unless you or the school has other concerns.

We suspected my son had dyslexia when his NNAT score came in at 160 and was getting ~40% in his reading I-ready. The school was not concerned (maybe they thought we had prepped him). We had to do a private evaluation due to lack of concern/support at school.

By the way, we did a full neurological evaluation and child has 99% IQ and is dyslexic. Just something to keep an eye, according to neurologist his I-ready scores were not lower (masking the dyslexia) due to the high IQ, child was memorizing the words.

He is AAP and doing well.

There will be several more IReady's before the submission period. If I recall, only the last one was submitted.

Was this an anomaly? I assume that she performed well on earlier takings?

Are the Spring iReady’s in SIS? I can’t find my child’s.

She's in the 30% percentile for reading and she's not getting all 4s. She isn't AAP bound

Don’t worry about the first grade iReady scores, OP. Only the fall iReady scores from second grade are included in the packet sent to the central screening committee.

I also wouldn’t stress about grades at this point. My DS had a mix of 3s and 4s on his report card (with grades generally progressing to mostly 4s by the end of the year), and he still was accepted into AAP on the first round.

Note, however, that the NNAT isn’t given as much weight as the COGAT. If your child’s COGAT score is significantly lower than the NNAT score, that’s when I’d be worried about whether your child will be accepted.

How did she do on the fall and winter iready?

If it was just a one time thing and she was sick, I wouldn't worry about it. You should have second grade fall scores before the AAP apps are due.

My 2nd grader's spring iready is in SIS under tests (base school). My 5th grader's are not up from spring yet (AAP center).

Just be school by school. Well, that’s annoying FCPS.

Only the raw score is there. How did you know the percentile?

My DC had a mix of 3's and 4's and a lower NNAT and got in AAP first round. I think the OP was implying the score was an anomaly, in which case I don't think they should be too concerned. Crazy to imply that nothing but straight 4's will qualify you.

I have googled the percentile. Usually it's a FL doc but from what I have seen in FCPS it matches.
