We still don’t see iReady test results on SIS. Maybe after school today? This is the last day of school

My kid's school added reading and math goals to his IEP based on IReady results that I don't trust (severe ADHD) and while I don't mind the added goals per say, they certainly don't accurately reflect his math or reading ability. We know this through outside testing.

For IReady, your kid needs to be very motivated to do well. It’s boring and kids do it so much that they get tired of it. It does not align to our curriculum. As a teacher, I glance at scores once.

Reading words off of a page and being called a strong reader is different than being able to comprehend. It may be BS to you but multiple assessments is a good way to gauge how well a child is truly doing.
Are you a teacher? Because every single teacher I've ever talked to about I-ready (including two different reading specialists, both of whom are highly focused on the science of reading) have told me I-ready is a fairly useless data point.
They do say that, but FCPS also is now using 2nd grade IReady scores in AAP decisions so you decide who you believe...

DP … It seems like the Iready scores are starting to be “considered,” but that the GBRS is king and the CogAt is the most important of the tests.
DC was missing the quantitative score for CogAT due to some testing SNAFU where the score wasn't calculated. Math iReady was very strong (99%) and stood in for CogAT, along with strong math samples and emphasis on math in GBRS narrative (with 4 COs). iReady may not be the be-all and end-all, but had enough weight that the AART mentioned it in the packet. DC was accepted for AAP in the initial round.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they started considering Iready even more in the near future. A very high score means that the kid has essentially already mastered the grade material and is ready for more.

The IReady test was the first thing that the teachers couldn’t ignore about our child’s dyslexia. The scores were so extreme and they couldn’t explain it away after they basically had lied for three years.
