There is general misunderstanding on this board about Grade 5 and Level 5. They are not same. Achieving Level 5 does not mean your DC cleared Grade 5 math. Have you seen Grade 5 math?
If they wanted to indicate Grade 5 then they would use 'Grade' instead 'Level'.

Incorrect.  If you look online for i-ready resources, they flat out will state that the placement level refers to the grade level skills that would be an appropriate instructional level for that child.  They probably use 'Level" rather than 'Grade', because they're indicating that the child needs a different grade level of instruction and not that the child necessarily belongs in a different grade.  FWIW, I have an older child in AAP math, and my 2nd grader can run laps around that child with respect to math.  The kid legitimately does know everything through at least the 4th grade AAP curriculum and possibly the 5th grade one.  [/quote]

Incorrect: I thought so too until I look  in at the negative scenario.

Look at Grade 7 Overall Math score , lowest score  is 100 and corresponds to Level K. Do you think a 7th grader child scoring 100 is so bad in math that his/her skills are Kindergarten level? If so how did he managed to clear 1st,2nd ...6th grade? Is this even possible?
In the same scenario a kindergartner scoring 800 would be at Grade 3 math, better than 7th grader?

There are many kids in this forum who scores WISC of 130+. Here is modern IQ ranges for various occupations

Do you think this child is smarter than engineers/lawyers/doctors?  These tests are relative to age hence Level 5 can not translate to Grade 5 math.

Scale Scores
Scale scores allow you to put everything on a single continuum so that you can compare across grade levels. Scale
scores are a metric indicating that a student has mastered skills up to a certain point, and still needs to work on
skills that come after that point. The scale score is a common language across grades and schools. When looking
at these scores, it’s important to note that the fi rst number in a scale score does not equate to a grade level.[b] For
example, a scale score in the 500s does NOT mean that a student’s grade-level placement is fi fth grade.

Here is FCPS Grade 6 Math curriculum. Make your own assessment can second grader scoring 800 is fit to take Grade 6th Math?

iReady shows palcement level

Look at page 2 second table. this is where the range falls. Either child is Early-Mid-Late-Above Grade (report does not say which grade)
