iReady Reading and Map Math scores - 3'rd grade Fall

[Anonymous]

Hi,

we received the Fall iready scores for reading and MAP scores for math for my 3'rd grade DS. Below are the scores -

iReady Reading - Overall 'Early On' (Two Early On and Two Mid or Above). Percentile - 82
MAP Math - Overall 'High' Percentile - 94

We were hoping to refer my DS to AAP for this year (parent referral , did not get in last year). How good are these scores?

Specifically i am concerned about the iReady Reading as PR of 82 seems low specifically as it is weighted against National norms and VA standards/his classroom standards will be much higher.

Thabnks,

My son also did not get into AAP and scored 99% for both iReady reading and the map. I think the committee expects to see 95%+ but also have heard from someone who has a friend that does reviews of applications that the acceptance varies by school. So….maybe it depends on where you are? FWIW we’re Langley pyramid

There are no objective score cut offs. It's a completely subjective process. They also rarely take twice exceptional students.

At a friend's school, it's well known that the AAP advisor only gives positive recommendations if she knows and likes the family. It also doesn't matter - by HS there is no difference in material or performance.

These are good scores but they care more about the HOPE rating scores that your child's teacher gives.

Make sure your child is well behaved, and the teacher likes them.

Also be prepared to get slammed in the HOPE - surprise!
