Thank you! So the print out will show it aligned to Virginia standards?

Even so, it still surprises me, but this is helpful to know, thanks.

How can it be that a child can score 99th percentile but be completely average (at grade level, give or take) by common core standards?

The “for families” report that others have referenced is fine info. But to see exactly what standards your child got wrong ask for the Virginia standards report covering K through the grade above your child’s grade.

The 99th percentile would mean that your child scored better than 99 percent of students at DCs grade level nationally. So, probably not many gaps.

I don’t look at the percentiles but I do look at the standards report. Unless a kiddo had an off day, it seems to track pretty well with what I see in class. And it helps me to fill in gaps that aren’t part of the current grade level standards. Or fill gaps before we arrive at a corresponding unit.

If parents only understood how much time and money is wasted on testing...

Yet I know DC is ahead of grade in reading and math (just finished grade 2 ST Math, knows multiplication facts and some division and is doing level 2/3 Beast Academy).

DC was sick with a cold on the days they completed it and I know wasn't in top form but I still think this is surprising. The "what to work on" recommendations are things DC already knows well. So I'm genuinely confused as to what happened.
