How to interpret iReady score

[Anonymous]

What is considered as a good iReady score? Is National Percentile value considered the indicator? Asking for a second grader and to understand the potential for AAP.

What is your child’s percentile? Mid-high 90s is considered good but it’s still only one datapoint in the file.

This should be above 97/98th, but it is just one data point they use. For both subjects.

I would guess that they are looking for kids in the 90th percentile or higher on iReadys. The standard CoGAT/NNAT score for in-pool candidates was a 132, the lower end of the 99th percentile. It would make sense that they would be looking for kids who are scoring at levels that would indicate they are a year ahead in their knowledge, which tends to be the kids in the 90th percentile or higher.

I would guess that they're looking for a consistent picture and not for any one specific score. If the CogAT/NNAT, iready, GBRS, and work samples all look like a kid who is 90th percentile and above, then that looks great for AAP. If any one of these is lacking, they'll take a second look to see why there's a discrepancy. If more than one is lacking, the kid doesn't look like AAP material. I doubt that the iready scores will make or break a child if the CogAT, GBRS, and work samples are all strong.

96th for math and reading both
96th for nnat
Cogat not known yet

Those are solid iready scores. Focus on choosing work samples and write a compelling parent referral for why your child needs AAP.

Your child needs to be 90th percentile in order to get into AAP.

I think these posts are hilarious because honestly getting into AAP is very arbitrary and subjective. Go back and search the "my kid is in" posts from previous years - none of them have iready scores because that's a new input, but there are ALWAYS kids with high scores that don't get in and kids with low scores that do get in.

Remember - just because your kid is a good test taker doesn't mean they are also a critical thinker or well liked by their teacher.

OP here. DC had iReady in the first grade also and I was told it is only a test to understand where the child stands and how they made progress over the course of the academic year (from fall to spring of next year). I never looked at the scores closely and the overall result I remember was "meets expectations". While reading these threads, I saw that iReady is one of those AAP data points and wanted to understand what those percentiles meant. Agree that AAP is a subjective process and we wouldn't know until we know. Thank you all

My child's Iready scores are upper 80s% and the teacher brought up that she thought they would do well in AAP if it was something we were interested in, so I am going to refer.

Also- since the teacher brought it up, I'm assuming GBRS/HOPE or whatever they use now would be favorable.

My kid who got into AAP was 99% on math and reading. Cogat was right at the 132 mark. Don't know about the GBRS. But I think it was the 2nd grade fall iReady scores that alerted her teacher to think about her for AAP because she seemed surprised about them in teacher conference because DD is really shy so didn't stand out to her. So I think they are important in that the teacher looks at that data and it shapes their thinking about the GBRS too. As for what is good, it likely is impacted by what is common in your school. 99%ile seemed like it was very notable at our school, it might be more common at others.

I only see raw scores (not percentiles) in parentvue. Is there a way to convert raw scores to percentiles?

Go to documents in parentvue. There Should be a fall iready doc w/ raw score and Percentile
