[quote=Anonymous]There’s really no feedback given with standardized tests unless the school follows up with you for under grade level performance. They don’t care about the test results for kids who meet or exceed the bare minimum.

My DS has tested from 50 percentile up to 99 percentile and it’s always pulling teeth to even get the scores. The school doesn’t allow access to anything beyond numerical score and percentile unless you directly email the principal, who will access the info and send it. It’s weird because I keep hearing that other schools give parents an actual login for iReady or whatever test to be able to see more info.

I think the test is meant to get a bigger school picture, to identify below grade level kids, and to make curricular decisions. Teachers and schools don’t want to give parents any more info because of privacy concerns (other kids and families) and also because I suspect we would be surprised at the grade or school’s performance.
