[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1658: grade level and school (school pyramid at least)? AAP or LI?[/quote]

Grade 3. Not AAP or LI (language immersion?). I just happened to be in looking at I-Ready today for math groups. [/quote]

In comparison the Reading percentiles (again, FWIW):

90th-99th percentile:  7 students
81st-89th: 6 students
60th-71st:  7 students
42nd-52nd: 4 students[/quote]

Over half of the class is above the 80th percentile in a gen ed classroom?  Is this in Great Falls or somewhere equally wealthy?  These results are extremely atypical.  [/quote]

I suspect that is why there was a question about AAP or language immersion, both programs tend to have higher scoring kids. I can see this distribution in a Gen Ed class in a normal year. The number in the 81-99th percentile is not shockingly high for Grade 3. This is the reading score so I can easily see half the class reading at near grade level or above grade level. The material is challenging for some kids but not that hard to grasp for kids that are above average intelligence without LDs. Reading seems to be one of those things that many kids seem to grasp and then do well in or struggle to grasp. But the questions the kids are asked are not diving into subtle details.

What is surpsing to me is the lack of kids in the [b]72-80th percentile and the kids in the 53rd-70th[/b] percentile. Not one kid in either band?   The distribution seems wonky.[/quote]

I posted the range of scores. I hadn't noticed that, so I went and double checked. For reading nobody fell between 72-80 and 53-59. Maybe it's just the luck of the draw? (Nowhere near Great Falls.) The breakdown is:

Reading: 99th, 95, 95, 91, 91, 90, 90, 89, 87, 86, 85, 81, 81, 71, 68, 68, 67, 65, 62, 60, 52, 48, 46, 42.

Math:  99, 99, 97, 95, 94, 94, 87, 84, 83, 79, 78, 75, 71, 67, 64, 59, 59, 53, 46, 42, 38, 38, 36, 29.[/quote]
