[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can they retest to be sure it wasn't an anomally?

My DS started reading with strong comprehension at age 3, but every so often had one of those low test scores. One I recall where he never got past the first question.  Teachers always said, "don't worry, we know he knows the stuff, he's smart," etc.

Until middle school. Turns out he is super smart, but also has severe inattentive ADHD.[/quote]

I don’t think it was an anomaly. Her numerical score was flat the first three tests which led to a percentile drop each time as other kids caught up I guess? and numerical score and percentile both dropped on the last test. [/quote]
You need to ask her teacher if your dd actually took the test a separate time for each report you received. What are the odds she got exactly the same numerical score multiple consecutive times? (Although I thought MAP testing was only administered 3 times per year.) I found out that MAP-R wasn’t being administered to my child every time testing was going on. Her elementary teachers sometimes skipped testing her because she was clearly above grade level and they had no concerns. However, I kept receiving the reports generated by the school system, so I thought she just kept scoring in the same range. When dd mentioned that she hadn’t taken the test, I asked the teacher and she confirmed that dd hadn’t.[/quote]
