[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where does one find the grade level ranges? I've only ever received one page report that says either approaching expectation, meets expectations etc. Is that what is being discussed or is there something else?[/quote]

FWIW, my kid just scored 94th percentile on the 4th grade math winter i-ready assessment, but his score is still solidly in the middle of the 4th grade score range (and interestingly, would still be just over the mid grade level range on the winter 5th grade assessment)... [/quote]

Being in the 94th percentile or even the 99th percentile on questions from the 4th grade question bank doesn't imply that the kid is ready to skip content.  It just shows that the kid has solid mastery of 4th grade content.

An analogous view is that every kid taking the 4th grade math SOL who passes, whether they pass with barely a 400 or whether they have a perfect score of 600, is "on grade level."  To be above grade level, the kid would need to be earning a nearly perfect score on the 5th or 6th grade SOL while in 4th.

The kids who iready considers above grade level are the ones who could be dropped into a higher grade level math class without having any gaps and without missing a step.  Kids with very high aptitude in math who haven't been taught above grade level content are unlikely to test as above grade level.  [/quote]
