I know my kid. They are reading well above grade level and have been since before the "jump." Did I worry a little before the report card reflected reality? Yeah, a little. But I KNEW my child was a strong reader and that for some reason the test just wasn't picking it up yet, ether because of overconfidence and mistakes on my child's part, or because a young and inexperienced teacher was artificially marking the kids down.
Either way, my kid does the vast majority of their reading outside of school, so I just needed to chill and so do you. It'll all come out in the wash. Truly.
+1. I was going to suggest to K mom that the pull out teacher probably did the eval, and is a slightly harder grader
