When are IAAT scores released?

[Anonymous]

I've been told that at least 2 years ago an email went out to the parents of students who were close to the cutoff but didn't make it (at Carson) asking them if they wanted to take algebra 1. Not sure if it was a 1 off that year as the classes weren't full or if this is something they usually do...

I’d bet, like with most things in FCPS, every school has a different way of delivering scores. My son’s score posted on SIS last year before we ever received a paper copy. (Haycock)

There is a thread in the FCPS forum on the IAAT. Several Teachers have said that they are not going to have prereqs for Algebra in 7th grade next year, it will be open enrollment. Someone also posted that they will offer Algebra and Algebra Honors. So who knows if the IAAT scores even matter this year.

PP - Can you please share the link for the thread if you don’t mind ?

Seems unlikely that they would change it for next year, given that all of the documentation supplied to parents this year has been consistent with previous years - need to have over 91% on IAAT and pass advanced on SOL. This has been communicated to parents via Email and on the FCPS website. You would think if they were to change their policies they would provide parents more notice. However, stranger things have happened.

Teacher here. The only threshold will be pass adv on math 7 SOL. They should have decided this before administering the test. Very annoying.

Starting this fall? How do they change their class registration then since they already submitted it? When and how would school communicate with students about this change then?

Apparently this info will be shared with parents when scores are released. The middle schools will contact the same way except now IOWA won’t be a prerequisite, just a pass advanced.

I guess administering IAAT isn’t a total waste - it’s another datapoint that some reasonable parents will use to help guide the decision on course selection nxt yr.

Last yr, DC took IAAT on 2/27 and we had results in SIS on 4/4. So 5.5 weeks after the test.

That is very annoying. The kids in my child’s class have been worried about this test for months. I guess it will make them stronger in the end but still… I don’t like the lack of communication to parents and the last minute switch.

I didnt hear any information regarding this last minute switch or any sort of communication from our school for the same . IS it official or just rumors?

Just rumors, although the anonymous people on this forum seem pretty sure about it. No official communication has been sent about this last minute switch. The FCPS website still indicates that the IAAT is used for Algebra 7 placement.
