[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm elsewhere but I think teachers don't particularly care about these results except for how it affects their employment.
[b]My kid has done poorly on iReady (60th percentile)[/b] and for some reason he is in the highest reading and math groups. I asked if he needed to go to the resource room and his teacher said no way. When I brought up iReady she just shrugged it off and said it doesn't mean much! She cited that the kids rush through to get to the games at the end! Why are we wasting time with this?[/quote]

60th percentile is not a poor score. It isn't a home run by any means, but it isn't a poor score. There are other kids whose scores are in the 10th to 30th percentile. Those kids need the most intensive intervention.

Don't teachers also look at more data than just the iReady? Maybe your kid's other scores and his work in class show the teacher that he's doing well overall.[/quote]

60th means there is something to work with. 10% means either the kid didn't care and raced through answering randomly or that they're a lost cause [/quote]

60th percentile means he scored higher than 60% of test takers in the norming data. His score solidly puts him in the average category. [/quote]
