[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone found the iReady Placement is a little bit weird? It seems they place every child score below 99 percentile [b]one grade above[/b] as "on level". For example, according to this table:

A fourth grade score 526 would be considered "on level" (grade 4) instead of one level above (grade 5), while according to this table:

https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/7539/urlt/iready-norms-tables-K-8-2020.pdf

Math scale score of 526 can be placed as 95 percentile as a 6th grader (and a fourth grader need to do many 6th or 7th grade questions right to get a score like 526.[/quote]

In my understanding, iready is primarily meant as a screener to catch problems rather than a tool to identify high learners so it may not be sensitive to do assess above grade level well. [/quote]

Yeah it was put in by the counting after the state mandated a universal screener. A group parents who felt their child was dyslexic lobbied heavily for a screener.  It is a waste of time for most kids, but that particular group  of parents are happy.[/quote]
