A student can’t stay at the 90th percentile and not be learning, unless everyone is…a percentile isn’t the score on the test, it’s how the score compares to everyone else’s score in the same testing period of the same age or grade (depending on how it is normed).
Not quite, the percentile is how the score compares the norms that were set in 2020. If everyone gets better, the "percentile" goes up for everyone.
With COVID and virtual learning / not-learning on 2020, I suspect that if norms were recalculated, the percentiles would change a lot.

How often are the percentile tables updated?
They did 2015 and 2020
