FWIW:
In my third grade class, 7 students scored at the 90th percentile or higher. 13 scored at the 80th percentile+ on the reading screener. On the math screener 7 are at 94th+ and 10 scored at the 80th+ percentile.

Gen Ed or AAP? If gen Ed, which pyramid?

Yeah, this isn't normal. From what I've heard (married to a K-6 teacher), 70 percent of the students are under grade level on the i-ready for some component because of COVID and the lack of effectiveness of distance learning. She teaches second in a Madison feeder, fwiw, so it's not as if this is a struggling school with high FARMS. She said this data was consistent across her region (60-80 percent showing below grade level) -- they had meetings on this fwiw to plan remediation this quarter in her school.

I agree. The numbers listed are way too high for gen ed, but they seem embarrassingly low for AAP kids who are supposed to be one grade level ahead. I'm confused about what type of FCPS school could have produced these numbers.

I am not sure why people think they are high for Gen Ed. We deferred AAP so our son is at his base school. His teacher said that half the kids in his class are taking Advanced Math. He has 21 kids in his class, so call it 10 kids in Advanced Math. I would expect those 10 kids to be in the 90th percentile, if not higher. I would expect the kids in Level III to place in the 90th percentile or higher for reading. We are in a South Lakes High pyramid.

Do they go to a separate class for Advanced Math or is it in class differentiation? Wondering how they can add 10 more students to a presumably already full Level IV class (unless school has no Level IV).

That's unusual, though. At my kids' base school, around 20 out of 100 are in advanced math. At the AAP center, only about 10 gen ed kids out of 90 are in advanced math. Most schools only have 3 or 4 advanced math kids per classroom.

I also wouldn't assume that most of them would score at or above the 90th percentile. FCPS guidance suggests a CogAT Q score of 115 for advanced math placement. This is around the 84th percentile.

...Forgot to add: Of the 20 or so advanced math kids at the base school, only around 3 per year score at or above the 91st percentile on IAAT. At the center, generally 0-1 kids meet the IAAT benchmark.

But PP, you are being disingenuous. It's obvious that you're the poster with the kid in immersion. An immersion classroom looks nothing whatsoever like a real gen ed classroom.

Yup, we are immersion. His Level III pull out includes the Gen Ed kids and about 1/4 of the kids in his grade, including Gen Ed and Immersion, are in Level III. So a smaller percentage then the advanced math group in his LI class but not a small number. And I have no idea what the Advanced Math group looks like for the Gen Ed classes. I do know that the Advanced Math kids in LI are spread between classes because he has friends who are in Advanced Math and in a different class.

I have no clue about how many kids in Advanced Math at the school pass the IAAT with a high enough score to take Algebra 1, we don't have friends with kids who have been in that position and I wouldn't know where to go to look for those numbers.

So did both of my kids. Both are in principal-placed AAP and had HUGE drops from last spring. No idea what happened, but teachers don't seem concerned.

FYI, the iReady scores for older kids were posted in ParentVue today.

Thanks. My older kid did way better than my younger kid. Normally they both do equally well, but I think the virtual learning for a full school year (March 2020-March 2021) took more of a toll on my younger kid.

Thanks! Just looked.

95th percentile reading but below expectations in Phonological Awareness. Not sure what I should do with that. He meets expectations in every other category. They don't say that anything is above expectation but I am not sure if they ever say that?

99th in math and meets expectations across the board.

Where in Parentvue is it posted? I don’t see anything.

I'm not in the DCUM area but this discussion strikes a cord - my 4th grader is in the 99th percentile for iready math, again. He got in the 98th percentile on cogAT for quantitative. Still, our school won't place him in the gifted program, because his verbal scores are around the 75%. So freaking annoyed! They let him sit in the classroom bored out of his mind but have a pullout program for kids who scored lower than him on both tests. We do Beast Academy at home now, so whatever. He'll continue to outscore the gifted kids and the school will do nothing for him.

I went to the SIS FCPS page and logged on. In the Documents folder I have his report card and his iREADY scores from this year. We don’t have any progress reports listed but that could be because he has not had a progress report sent home.

Where are you finding previous years reports?
