[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thanks for the info and I agree with PP.  What is the point of giving out a score with no reference points?  My daughter was an early reader so she has always done well on reading tests..but interesting to know that MCPS put her towards the end of 5th grade?[/quote]

22:21 PP again -  OP, I am curious.  How did you come to get your daughter's score?  Did you ask your daughter?  Did your daughter tell you?  Did a teacher tell you?  After asking my DC,  it turns out that my DC's score is in the 220s.  DC says the teacher remarked that 220s is a good score.   Also, an annonymous 4th grade teacher in a post above that suggests that 221 is the line of being above grade level.

This is a strange way to hear about testing results.  My DC takes a test and is given a number.  DC is told by the test taker that the number is good, but never mentions it to parent.   A few days later, I learn about the test accidently on 'DC Urban Moms' and so I follow up with my DC.  I then receive the score results second hand through my DC, who is 9 years old.    I have no idea what the score means other than the second hand information from an annonymous teacher posted on the internet.    This place is cracked up.  Anyway, I am going to assume that they are saving this information for discussion at our parent-teacher conference.  If I don't hear about it at that conference, I will probably get a little irked and asked to see my kids full file (which by law must be provided).  Then i can be sure that I know about all the testing that has taken place.  Thanks for the post.[/quote]
