IReady percentile

[Anonymous]

Is there an official site to see the percentile for iReady? Also, is there a difference between 480 (good) and 580 (great) as I assume they are both 99% for 2nd grade?

Letter from FCPS will have the official percentile. You can also try this page which shows the percentile by grade, season and subject: https://schoolsnews.org/iready-diagnostic-scores-2024-2025-k8-ready-percentiles-chart-table-by-grade-math

Demonstrating above-grade understanding in one or more subjects is a good data point. I found that the teacher report can provide more relevant insight for >99 percentile.

For your question of 480 vs. 580, second grade fall iready math table shows 99% are for scores 452-800. If you skip to iready math spring table, it shows 99% covers from 479-800. So both 480 and 580 are great scores.

Iready often involves above the grade content. To score beyond 99% for spring iready often indicates the child is at least 1 year ahead of grade level. Probably familiar with multiplication and division at least. Of course 580 score indicates further above the grade level.

A 580 math score in 2nd grade indicates that the kid is ludicrously far ahead and should be skipped ahead at least 2 years by FCPS. It's not in the realm of normal at all.

I thought iReady maxed out at 2 years above grade level and wouldn't test further?

It maxes out at 3 years above grade level, and a 580 is very much at the ceiling of the test for a 2nd grader. I'm not sure what happens if a kid exhausts the top problems in the question pool for their grade. Regardless, a parent of a kid testing that high should be seeking outside testing to pinpoint just how far ahead the kid is, and then approaching the principal for a more appropriate placement. Or the parent should pull the kid and homeschool. Even in a highly educated and intense place like Fairfax, the score is likely the highest in the county for a 2nd grader by a large margin.

Is it 480 (math) and 580 (reading)? These would be 99th percentile but not outliers within this county.

There is no iReady for reading anymore. What would be considered an outlier score for iReady math?

That's a good point. I somehow misread the OP as the kid having a 580 math, which is absurdly high. OP's kid likely has a 480 math and a 580 reading. OP, the math and reading scales aren't the same. For 2nd grade reading, 489-560 is on grade level and 561-602 is one year above. For math, 428-498 is on grade level, and 499-515 is one year above.

Anything above 540 for 2nd grade would be pretty rare. I bet only a handful of kids in the county would test that high. I know of a kid who had around a 580 at the end of 2nd grade. That kid took and aced the (in-person)AoPS Algebra I class in 4th grade.
