Former teacher here: they stop testing at the end of the next grade level, as an above poster said. The end of the next grade level for a second grader is a 38. The 3 stands for 3rd grade and the 8 stands for the 8th month into third grade.

I don't remember seeing DRA scores. Were these sent out at the end of the school year?


My child's came with the report card.

I think DS's end of 2nd grade score was 28. He took a standardized test in the Fall and scored at the 99th percentile. I wouldn't worry about the DRA unless you think there's a disability.

Reading is a skill to access academics is it not necessarily indicative of ones intelligence level. A child could have below grade level reading scores and still qualify to be in AAP, they would just need to access the curriculum in a different way.

OP - She was accepted for a reason. The DRA is listed in the packet that goes to central selection committee and they accepted her. So take comfort in that. DRA level is not a measure of intelligent. I have no idea what my daughter's DRA level is.

38, but her NNAT and COGAT scores were below what this board considers to be the "cutoff" for AAP, just for some perspective.

Since 30 says its on level for start of grade 3 and AAP is supposed to be "advanced"...yes, I would think that 30 would be low for an incoming AAP 3rd grader but just fine/normal for a non-AAP incoming 3rd grader.

28 (but says NF next to it - not finished????) 28 is grade level for end of second grade. I'm assuming they ran out of time and since it was on grade level it wasn't completed. My kid easily reads books on 4th grade level, so not worried.
