[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn’t get 4th grade PARCC scores until Oct. IReady scores showed kid was behind but not much. The Mathnasium test was a hardcopy test where the kid had to show the work. We were shown the results, shown where the kid was falling down. He needed a lot more support and drill than we’d realized. Nobody at school seemed to give a hoot. Our $350/month at Mathnasium has paid off.[/quote]

I know a couple of families whose kids were behind on iready and the school pulled them into additional, more intensive math sessions and work in school. The school specifically staffs additional teachers for this support. Not sure why your kid wasn't?  If you tested at Beginning of Year, does Mathnasium work like I-ready where it shows your kid behind on grade level material they haven't learned yet?[/quote]

We weren't pulled into more intensive math sessions at school.   No, Mathnasium tests grade level math calibrated to the current point in the school year.  In our case, kid took the assessment a week before 5th grade started.  No math past 4th grade Common Core was tested.
