[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid scored below the intervention cut-off, have you heard what the intervention of plan is?[/quote]

What is the intervention score? is it the overall score or the individual scores? [/quote]

DP - on DC's score sheet, it states 39 percentile is the intervention score. DC scored in the 20s percentile and has an IEP. DC also failed Spring SOLs. I'm concerned because according to the teacher and IEP progress reports, DC is doing well and making sufficient progress. [/quote]

You know what is awesome? Statistics. So if 39% of kids need intervention- how are they giving 40% (almost half the class) interventions in one on one/small group setting. What is happening with the other 60% of kids.  I dont’ get it.  Why would a test say that almost half of all children need an intervention?  If it is based upon percentages, then it doesn’t even really matter WHAT the actual score is, there will always be 40% of kids that need intervention. That seems weird.[/quote]

Percentile, not percentage. 
It’s unlikely 40% of a class requires remediation.[/quote]

And the percentiles are nationally normed. I would imagine that there is a smaller percentage of kids below that 39th percentile in FCPS because of the high level of education across the county and, no matter what people think, a strong Public School system. I would also imagine that kids at the very low end are in SPED programs that are receiving some help and have different academic needs based on the degree of their issues. The Gen Ed class is far less likely to have 39% of the kids needing intervention.[/quote]
