Same. Fifth grade.

Check Parent vue, iReady scores are listed there. They even added all my kids scores from past years when we had not received them. Log in and go to Test Scores.

Thanks, I'm the PPer and didn't realize it had been posted. We just got a reading score and my kid was lower in winter than she was in the fall.

DD was probably the only one disliked game at end of each iready session, she said the it was scary and refused to proceed.

My kid went down a whole grade level from fall to winter in reading and math.

Thank you all, yes it should be winter test instead of spring based on date pasted on fcps sis account.

Here's the norms table for 2020-2021. Not sure how much it has changed for this year: https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/7539/urlt/iready-norms-tables-K-8-2020.pdf

Your child did not have the Spring test, but rather would have taken the test during the Winter window, so those are the scores you need to check.

For 1st grade, a Fall Math of 440 is 99th percentile. A Winter Math of 460 is also 99th percentile. These are stratospheric scores. 20 points is actually fairly significant on iReady. If your child had those scores during Spring, then 440 would be 89th percentile, and 460 would still be 99th percentile.

For reading, Fall 520 is 99th percentile, and Winter 530 is high 98th percentile. At these upper reaches, this is probably not a significant change.

IReady is a waste of time and money.

+1. Lots of problems with that iReady. I don’t see how teachers are using it when it gives such erroneous responses. I don’t see teachers using it.

It is not the same test each time, the questions change each time. I don't expect huge leaps in DS iReady scores because of the way the test works. he brings home his scrap paper and asks us about the math questions he didn't recognize and those are different every time. So the path is taking him to different places. He is progressing, that is what matters.

My Teacher friends don't like the iReady for a variety of reasons. Some kids rush through them because they want to get to the games at the end of the test. Some recognize that the questions are getting easier and get discouraged and just quit on the test. Some kids get too caught up in getting the answers correct and get stuck on questions trying to get something right that they have not been taught yet. Be worried if your kids grades are poor or the Teacher is reaching out to you not because the iReady scores are going up slowly.

My kid’s iReady math score dropped from fall to spring. He’s well above grade level and the only math he learns is from enrichment we not. I assume he was bored and didn’t try when he took the spring test.

Not an expert, but those reading scores already seem above grade level, so makes sense not to see a huge growth. Ask the teacher for the detailed score report and it shows what is grade level and typical and reach growth.
