With all due respect, this sounds fishy. They know immediately if a kid fails, so they clearly have scores within hours. Massaging them and analyzing the data to get a full picture of the school system or state takes time, but they have each individual child's scores.

Yes, I'm a teacher, so I know this. But the scores we get are specifically told to us that they are "preliminary" so we are not permitted to share them until the state finalizes them. I don't know what they do with them exactly. Maybe if all the kids get one question wrong they throw that one out or something. Not sure. It's not your child's teacher hiding anything from you.
