[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually there is a stanine score of up to 9.

Don’t focus on the national scores but rather the local ones. [/quote]
There are no local ones! Just national (overall), suburban schools(entire country included), private schools(entire country included) there are no local DMV scores on ERBs! Sometimes they included your child’s actual classmates scores in comparison on the chart. 
What matters is how your child’s scores relate to their classmates, as in “is my child scoring at 80% because they haven’t yet been taught content on this test?”, if all the other kids are scoring around 80 or below then yes that might be the case and tells you some about the school’s curriculum for that grade in that subject. This tests are not IQ tests. They are content based. [/quote]

OP here. Thank you. This is what I meant. The purpose of my posting was to try and find a comparison within same school or at least in the same area… for example, my child scored very low in geometry 65% and that brought the math score down since all other categories were 85-95%. Is it because their class has not been taught geometry much/well?[/quote]
This might be the case. If you are concerned,(I would not be) you can ask the teacher if your child seems to struggle in geometry but I would guess they will say, “oh we haven’t covered much of that yet, don’t worry.”
This goes tell you that the curriculum does not cover as much of this subject in your grade in that school than other schools across the country Might.[/quote]
