I only see the raw score in SIS, where do you see the percentages?

My guess is that OP looked up the percentage and found an older scaled score sheet (from like 5 years ago), so her numbers are way off. They only have raw scores in SIS, you won't see percentages unless you ask the teacher.

I looked on that testingmom site. The percentage always matches what the mailer I receive from FCPS so I'm assuming they're correct.

OP, same with our 3rd grader. Surprised as they definitely learned a lot of 3rd grade math content they did not know since the winter assessment (e.g. fractions, perimeters, area, and they are much improved on rote multiplication memorization). Same score on winter and spring assessment, though, and percentile dropped form 90s to 70s.

They do well on their unit quizzes, homework, and like doing math, even do make up problems on their own sometimes. No idea why....

Op here. This is almost identical to my kid. Seems like they learned a lot, almost the same score on winter and spring, and now in the 70s. Interesting...

Teacher here. It really is a terrible test and not correlated with our curriculum. Kids are sick of testing and just click answers to get through. Don’t worry about it. Truly. As a teacher I glance at the scores and then disregard them, and I am a veteran teacher who is regarded as a teacher leader in my school.

Someone mentioned on another forum that they're listed on the AAP packet that's submitted to the committee that's the only reason I'm worried about it.
