They're only up for some schools. I have kids at different schools and one has posted and the other hasn't.

Is it expected that students get a higher score in the winter than they did in the fall? Both of my kids scores went down. They have both been good students in the past but have had a year with teachers coming in and out, so wondering if this is something to be concerned about.

That’s happened before with my kids. Sometimes they just have a bad test day. I would look at progress from schoolwork as a better gauge.

My kid had to do the test as a makeup after being out sick. Math score went up but reading score took a big plunge. I am just chalking it up to not having a great test day because report card is 100% meets standards and work coming home is all excellent

My kids English score went down but still in the well prepared category. I am not worried but he has not worried. He has 100% in English class at the moment and has always otherwise always scored nearly 100% on all testing. Also if I look at what he missed its thr stuff for 7th grade (he is in 6th)

Oh one more thing. If I look at the fall results he was tested on all 5th grade standards..the winter test was 6th and 8th grade standards. He did fine on all 6th but struggled more on the 7th. So it makes sense it goes down from fall I think
