[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader is 94 in reading and 74 in math and I wonder what this means.  Should I be concerned about the math score?  Or is it good?  Should I contact his teacher next week about it or is that just silly?[/quote]

I would look at the score breakdown. Is there any place that your child is below expectations. If you look at the full sheet, they are comparing kids to where they expect them to be at the end of the school year. Most kids should be in the average range because most humans are average. A 74th percentile means your kid is on grade level and is where they should be. After last years shock to the educational system, that is not a bad place to be.

I would not be happy with that spread in scores. I understand that kids have strengths and weaknesses but a 20 point spread (or how ever you word that for percentiles) would make me nervous. That said, school being virtual last year might have impacted your child's math knowledge more than their reading and they could catch up in the math this year. There is nothing wrong with contacting the Teacher and seeing if there is anything you can do to support your child's learning at home.

DH is suggesting that we wait for Spring scores to see where DS is, he has one are that is below expectation, to see if it is a persistent problem or left over from virtual teaching. I am probably contacting the Teacher after Thanksgiving to find out what I can do to help strengthen the area my child was struggling in.
