[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child's MI score was just posted.  End of year score is lower than Mid year but no explanation about what these scores mean and why score would have dropped.  Any insights on what would cause that?  Math teacher didn't respond to emails during the school year, so I won't even bother reaching out since I can't imagine she would respond in July.

My kid scored lower end of year than [u]start[/u] of the year. WTF?

Was it already pretty high? I would think if it’s high you’re going to get diminishing returns with more learning. [/quote]

I'm the original PP and that's what I'm trying to figure out.  Shouldn't it continue to go up from January to May as they learn more? Child had roughly a 1,000 in January but low 900s in May.  [/quote]

Maybe somebody knows more about this than I do, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t actually teach them the math that they would need to get such a high score. I don’t have the numbers in front of me but if your child is in, say, 6th and scores in the 900s, that’s an eighth grade math level and it would make sense that the 6th grade curriculum  wouldn’t cover it. The score could have gone down because of things like little mistakes or unluckier guesses. [/quote]
