[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at Claremont, and at least in years past, our child's DIBELS has been broken down--I only recall with certainty because they typically tested high on nonsense words, but, really low in comprehension, and APS would always try to embrace the overall composite score to say, "look! everything is fine"! And I was like this child scoring well on nonsense words, but, terribly on comprehension does not point to a child who is going to thrive as they progress academically. It is really frustrating to have to try and push for honest narratives--parents are unlikely to be educational experts and should not have to advocate for commons sense actions from the school.

Another Claremont parent here with the EXACT same experience.  High on nonsense words, low everywhere else and told everything is fine.  I feel like I'm not getting an honest narrative.  Kid is miserable in school.  I'd really appreciate if the school could even guide me on what I could/should supplement with since I'm not an education expert but they are.  I know they can't sit one on one with each kid so I'm not asking them to do anythign special for my kid, just want to know what would help my kid grow.[/quote]
