[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking to crowd source some context for i-ready diagnostic scores.  Our kindergartener ended the year in the high 400’s for i-ready math and mid 400’s for reading.  When I look up [b]score norms[/b] online it seems [b]slightly above-grade level [/b]for reading but strangely high for math.  They did not start kindergarten high (the math score went up more than 100 points over the year).

Just curious if this is super common and what it might mean ( if anything) for 1st grade).

Score norms don't relate directly to grade-level expectations (at least, not in the table that PP linked to). The scores top out at EOY at 435 for math and 504 for reading.

[b]If your kid had a score of 450 in math, they have topped out on the test and the test is not appropriate to measure the ability of that child.
[/b]If your kid had a score of 450 in reading, they are in the 90th percentile of all children who tested. There's no detail on what the score for the expected end of K performance is to be on grade level.

It means your kid finds it easy to learn math. :) [/quote]

You are totally misunderstanding the tables you're looking at. IReady tops out at 800 and is adaptive for all grades. In addition to percentile tables (which just compare your kid to other test takers), there are placement tables showing where your kid should be placed grade-wise based on what grade they're in and their iReady score. The iReady definitely does not "top out" at 435 & it is used precisely because it doesn't just test grade-level material.  [/quote]
