[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got DC cape scores today for 6th grader. Interesting results…kid loves/excels at reading but got a 3 ( 4 points from a 4), loves/excels in math/science where they got 4s. But..what do the results even mean? The breakdown shows that kids did super well in 3/4 categories but bombed the last which leads me to believe that they got bored/rushed through to finish the test. Results state that child did anywhere between 60/80% better than the rest of DC kids but still got 3 and 4s. Curious on others results bc I don’t have any concerns about child academically but can’t help to think there is something off with this entire test. Or maybe it speaks to the need to prep for a test as the school doesn’t do that at all. TIA. [/quote]

The test isn't like iReady: The questions are intermixed and the subject areas aren't tested in order. Your kid is actually one who got helpful results in the sense that they clearly have an issue in one category. Figure out why.

I was surprised that my kid just missed a 5 in ELA. School seems good at teaching ELA and kid has always been in the 95-99% range on iReady, so was assuming they'd get a 5; but actually, he just ended up at the bottom of that range here and it's a 4. Subresults aren't helpful since they don't distinguish 4 level performance from 5 level performance and, unsurprisingly, having been just under the 5 cutoff overall, all of these are green. Does anyone know if the arrow pointing in the colored boxes in the subcategories is meant to show the place in each box they fell or just point to the box itself? (I assume the latter, since all of his are in the same place, but it's off center, so maybe it is meaningful?)[/quote]
