[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My extremely verbal, advanced reader, but average math student child scored in the 7th stanine on the verbal and 9th in the other two categories, with overall composite of 9th stanine/99 percent. Not at all what I would have predicted and I find it kind of hard to believe. Oh well. Not sure it makes any particular difference going in to third. [/quote] What is a stanine? What is the difference between 7th and 9th? Is that like a declile - so it's 70th percentile vs 90th percentile? - Parent of 1st grader interested in this for next year.[/quote] Stanines are a weird standard deviation/bell-curve-based measure, so they're not equal. Foe example 9 is 96th-99th percentile, 8 is 89th-95th, 7 is 77th-88th, and so on. But honestly stanines are just jargon, you don't really need to know about them, they list the actual percentile for everything as well and MCPS doesn't use the stanines for anything. [/quote]
