For your question of 480 vs. 580, second grade fall iready math table shows 99% are for scores 452-800.  If you skip to iready math spring table, it shows 99% covers from 479-800.  So both 480 and 580 are great scores.

Iready often involves above the grade content.  To score beyond 99% for spring iready often indicates the child is at least 1 year ahead of grade level.  Probably familiar with multiplication and division at least.   Of course 580 score indicates further above the grade level. [/quote]
A 580 math score in 2nd grade indicates that the kid is ludicrously far ahead and should be skipped ahead at least 2 years by FCPS.  It's not in the realm of normal at all.[/quote]

I thought iReady maxed out at 2 years above grade level and wouldn't test further?[/quote]
It maxes out at 3 years above grade level, and a 580 is very much at the ceiling of the test for a 2nd grader.  I'm not sure what happens if a kid exhausts the top problems in the question pool for their grade.  Regardless, a parent of a kid testing that high should be seeking outside testing to pinpoint just how far ahead the kid is, and then approaching the principal for a more appropriate placement.  Or the parent should pull the kid and homeschool.  Even in a highly educated and intense place like Fairfax, the score is likely the highest in the county for a 2nd grader by a large margin.
