Grade 3. Not AAP or LI (language immersion?). I just happened to be in looking at I-Ready today for math groups. |

2 or more grade levels below |

In comparison the Reading percentiles (again, FWIW): 90th-99th percentile: 7 students 81st-89th: 6 students 60th-71st: 7 students 42nd-52nd: 4 students |

NP. Is this usual? Or a wider spread than usual, or higher or lower numbers? |

It's not too far off of previous years, but we haven't had many years of i-Ready. I'd say the numbers at the lower end are a little higher. Typically a few more are at or below the 39th percentile. |

You are really out of touch. Many families can’t afford healthcare, they receive government assistance for that. Please, oh please, tell me how those families are supposed to find and pay for tutors. Please. I just can’t with people like you who think everyone is just like them. |

So what about the kids under 39th? Do they really get intervention, or just another math group? |

My child is at what is considered a good school and her percentile is below all those (27 math, 35 reading). This is 1st grade. |

OK, but if the scores are drastically different county-wide this year, that says something about how the county's curriculum is performing or how poorly kids did with virtual and hybrid. Did not having teacher led instruction on Mondays hurt? If the scores are generally lower, then maybe it did. That sort of thing. Individually it may mean squat, but at an entire district level compared to 2019 it means something. |

If my kid was under 39th, I would for sure be asking, especially if I haven't heard yet. |

It said 39th percentile in the parent letter on iReady, for either. |

Scores are always vastly different. Schools serving more FARMs students have lower scores in iReady and the SOLs, and probably any other screener that they might use, then schools serving fewer FARMS students. It tells us exactly what we already know, kids who come from families with money and/or educated parents do better in school then kids from poorer families and whose parents are not educated. Kids from wealthier and or better educated families had more enrichment at home because their parents could afford to provide and/or could provide it on their own. They read to their kids, played number games with their kids, and probably found different experiences that were educational in some fashion. Their kids started kindergarten knowing their letters and numbers, probably writing or reading a bit,. They knew their shapes and colors. They probably attended a preschool and knew the basics of classroom behavior. Kids from poorer and/or less educated families probably did not know their letters, numbers, shapes, or colors when they started Kindergarten. They probably did not know how to behave in a classroom. They start school behind the kids from wealthier families. But we know this. I would guess that the already existing gaps grew after last year. |

The number of FARMs students did not change that much between 2019 and now. So if the whole county sees a drop in scores or an increase in kids below the intervention level, something county-wide caused a change. Maybe something like basically canceling school in spring 2020 and having only 4 days of school all last year, much of that not in the building. Maybe... You'd need the full data to tell. |

An additional small group time is an intervention. |
