iready score for level IV kids in 4th grade

[Anonymous]

A 553 in language arts or a 453 in math would be below grade level for 4th grade. Either your kid rushed through the test, or your AAP kid is actually below grade level.

You are comparing apple and oranges. Have a looked at the URL posted in earlier posts for score scaling and how it fits.

This.

No. My child had higher scores than 553 on both math and reading at the beginning of 2nd grade. .

Not the same. Meaning, your second grader wasn’t given the same test as the 4th grader.

iReady is computer adaptive, so scores should be equivalent between a test-taker in 4th and one in 2nd.

There's a table that can give you guidance here: http://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/7539/urlt/i-Ready-Table-6.pdf

It says 2016 norms, but I believe I have read that these are still current. You'll need the time of year the test was taken, as well as the subject.

If this was a score for math in the fall, look at table 1. 511 is a 99th percentile score in the 4th grade column, so a fourth grader with that math score is better than 99% of other fourth graders. In fact, 553 is 93rd percentile for fall 8th graders.

If this was a score for reading in the fall, check out table 4. Four a fourth grader, 553 is a 69th percentile reading score, which is decent overall, but low by AAP standards.

If PP's second grader is scoring above 553 in both math and reading at the beginning of second grade, I'd recommend home school.

Heh. He scored a 630 on the 7th grade iready math test as a 4th grader. I probably should have homeschooled him, because he hasn't learned anything at all in FCPS AAP.

Ideally, the teacher should be using these results when instructing the students. But, as always, there are a variety of things to consider. Did other students in the class get Level 4? If so, can a small "group" be created to meet those instructional requirements? If not, will your teacher create a one-student group? These are all questions for the teacher.

Isn't the point of AAP that there should be a critical mass of above grade level students to support more advanced groups? It would be disappointing if children 2 or 3 years above grade level still ended up being a "one-student-group" in an AAP classroom.

You would think that, but as a teacher I can tell you that the majority of kids in AA report at grade level or slightly above.

In my experience, IReady is not a good assessment. From what I understand, it is primarily used to target those students who are below level and need remediation. My DS is a 1st grade student who is 3+ years ahead in Math. He is in a 3rd grade AAP class for math each day. His Iready report listed him as on level in Math. It is not an accurate assessment.

TESTED OUT means that the students didn't receive any questions from those categories. My student's teacher explained that those categories were given in lower grades.

Correct. Those categories are things like Phonics. Older students dotn

Correct. Those categories are things like Phonics. Older students don't receive those questions. So it says Tested Out, even if they were not tested on those topics. The label is misleading.

I'm a teacher, so I have a question: Did it say "On Level" or did it say 1st Grade. Here's why I ask, if your student is in a 3 AAP class, he may have been listed under that AAP teachers math roster in iReady. Then he would be "On Level" for 3 AAP. That would make a world of difference.

The raw score doesn't been anything on its own. You need to score and the grade to get a better understanding. You can Google iReady test scores 2020.
