Did you check under Documents? It's not under Tests.

NP and same exact scenario here. I am confused because I have twins and the one who scored below expectation in this area has always been the stronger reader/writer of the two.

None of my kids went further than the spring score benchmark, so I'm not sure. Were your kids scores above spring?
In the past there was a designation if your kid got literally every question right (based on feedback on this board, I have never seen it), but they changed the view this year.
Of the 4 tests, between 2 kids, yes, 3 were beyond/higher than the Spring range. One was in the Spring range.

DS was above the threshold for Spring grades in Math and only a few points away in reading. He had all meets expectations except for the one below expectation. I don't think that there is above expectation.

My kid was not quite in the 95th for reading, but no where near the level for an intervention. Also didn't score at expectation for phonological awareness. Based on my limited understanding that's a red flag for future reading success, which is odd because my kid is usually above grade level for reading. I'm confused also.

My friend told me her son once did this part of the test with the speaker turned way down so he couldn’t hear what was being said.
I have LDs and have been worried about similar issues for DS so this feeds into my concerns. I prefer your explanation. I do think I will talk to his Teacher

They're all up now. Look in SIS under documents.
Better than usual? Worse than usual? About the same?
