[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grade level estimates are tied to common core standards - which are generally lower grade levels than in Virginia (but not for all topics). You want to see the full report for your student aligned to Virginia standards. The teacher can print that out for you. You won’t see the text of the question but you can see which standards were answered incorrectly.[/quote]

Thank you! So the print out will show it aligned to Virginia standards?

Even so, it still surprises me, but this is helpful to know, thanks.

How can it be that a child can score 99th percentile but be completely average (at grade level, give or take) by common core standards? [/quote]

The “for families” report that others have referenced is fine info. But to see exactly what standards your child got wrong ask for the Virginia standards report covering K through the grade above your child’s grade.

The 99th percentile would mean that your child scored better than 99 percent of students at DCs grade level nationally. So, probably not many gaps.

I don’t look at the percentiles but I do look at the standards report. Unless a kiddo had an off day, it seems to track pretty well with what I see in class. And it helps me to fill in gaps that aren’t part of the current grade level standards. Or fill gaps before we arrive at a corresponding unit.[/quote]

Sorry for the blank post above. The teacher said that there isn't a way to get the I-Ready report aligned to Virginia standards and also did not send the Lexia report with Virginia standards. Is there some additional guidance I could provide the teacher with?

OP here. Got the reports with Virginia standards. These are very informative and a good complement to the usual report that is given--thanks to posters who suggested we ask for this. Also really interesting to have more detailed Lexia reports. I was surprised to see the specific standards that DC seemed to struggle with. Possibly was not being careful in selecting responses, given limited experience with such tests and being under the weather. (This was DC's first I-Ready due to starting in FCPS only recently.)

I'm nevertheless still perplexed as to how a child can be 99th percentile (475Q) in math on I-Ready and be indicated as on grade level and not meeting or having incomplete knowledge of several standards.
