I went through this myself: my DC was in the bottom 20 percentile. The kindergarten teacher didn’t see any cause for concern (???) but I felt differently. She’s now top 2 percentile no thanks to that teacher.
I have found it better to figure out for myself what DC needs help on than to rely on “experts” who are not personally invested in your kid. If I went by them, my DC would probably still be unable to read. Figure out what might be wrong if you can and then find help accordingly.
How did you figure out where the problems/weakness were? Are you able to see the test and your kids answers? I am genuinely interested in this. The kid is a great reader, has very high comprehension and rich vocabulary but does not do well in standardized tests. He is in second grade, very young as just a week before cut off.
