Iowa test scores coming back

[Anonymous]

Just so the more average parents can see themselves reflected here, DC got their results last week and scored in the 79th percentile. Their middle school has an appeals process which we may use. DC is a terrible standardized test taker, something I need to work on. Their math grades is a 97% average in honors math 6 (our pyramid has MS in 6th grade). We did not prep for the Iowa. Their math teacher indicated DC is ready for the challenge of algebra. I agree. Older DC took Iowa during quarantine and since Algebra would have been virtual, we opted them out for another year of prep. Right decision for them. They want to pursue a STEM career, it won’t stand in their way of success taking algebra as an 8th grader. We’re only considering appealing for younger DC because this is something DC wants. Otherwise I would be fine with Algebra in 8th grade for them as well.

Please share school or pyramid.

Thanks!

My DC (haycock alumni) said that he believes his whole class qualified.

My child (Oakton pyramid) got a 86%. She's grateful b/c she didn't want to take a high school GPA class in 7th which seems a bit overkill.

Good luck if he gets Mr. Huang at LMS. One of the hardest and best teachers in FCPS.

And I think the coolest as well 😬

She wouldn't have to take the class if she didn't want to.

Lake Braddock pyramid and my DD was in the 90th percentile. She says "everyone" seems to have scored a 99. I've told her this can't be true, those are probably just the kids who are talking about it the most.

What else is included in the report? Wondering whether it’s worth getting it from the school. Also what percentile was 55/60?

We requested it. It breaks down each section and tells you what was tested, how many they answered correctly, incorrectly or missed.

Section I was Pre-alegbraic skills and concept.
Section II was Interpreting Mathematical information
Section III was Representating Relationships
Section IV was Using Symbols

Everyone in DS class at westbriar received over 91 percentile and most kids got 99 percentile

My DC got a 70, just for comparison. Langley pyramid.

Not trying to be mean, but I couldn't help but find this funny.

I’m the PP whose child got an 87th percentile and while they can choose not to take algebra next year, there is something freeing about not having to make that choice and about not having to achieve a certain score in the SOL.

My dc is at a poorly run center school with poor academics. Her teacher (AAP class) told the class that 14 kids "passed" and 11 kids "failed" the Iowa. Not happy with the terminology used. My own child had a 68%.

Thanks! Curious what the percentile was for a raw score of 55/60.
