Max level that any child can cross is three level above. Your child must have taken at-home test scoring 4+ level.

Technically, he's 3 levels above, but his score is more than 40 points higher than the cutoff score for Level 5.

iReady creators thinks both scenarios are possible otherwise why bother about the levels? There is no way KG scoring 507-800 can be at Grade level 3. Hence Level 3 does not translate to Grade 3

Well, I guess if you say so. FWIW, my kid who scored 4+ grade levels ahead also had a perfect score on the cogat quantitative, hit the ceiling on the wisc fluid reasoning index, and has been tested at the base school as being on at least a 5th grade level. But you go ahead and believe whatever you're determined to believe. All snowflakes are equally special in FCPS

There are many kids in this forum who scores WISC of 130+. Here is modern IQ ranges for various occupations

Do you think this child is smarter than engineers/lawyers/doctors? These tests are relative to age hence Level 5 can not translate to Grade 5 math.

Look at Grade 7 Overall Math score , lowest score is 100 and corresponds to Level K. Do you think a 7th grader child scoring 100 is so bad in math that his/her skills are Kindergarten level? If so how did he managed to clear 1st,2nd ...6th grade? Is this even possible?
In the same scenario a kindergartner scoring 800 would be at Grade 3 math, better than 7th grader?

Is it even possible for a kindergartner to score that high? Likewise, just how deficient in math skills would a 7th grader need to be to score a 100? Both of these would be extreme cases and not remotely plausible for a regular child in public school.

But then this would contradict the that iReady tests only one level above. How can it it give Level 5 (which parents translates as grade 5). This is in line with DRA/MRA which stops at one grade level above. These is FCPS guidelines and I have heard it from a center school teacher.

iReady shows palcement level
Chart: http://www.aps.edu/assessment/i-ready-documents/i-ready-placement-tables

Look at page 2 second table. this is where the range falls. Either child is Early-Mid-Late-Above Grade (report does not say which grade)

From the link you provided: Placement levels The placement level is the practical day-to-day language that helps teachers determine what level of skills to focus on with a particular student. Placement levels can be simply "Level 4," or can be ranked as early, mid, or late Level 4. Placement levels indicate where students should be receiving instruction, either online or in the classroom.

So, a fifth grader placing at "Level 5" and a third grader placing at "Level 5" would both be appropriately instructed using "level 5" materials.

Well, obviously. Reading comprehension is your friend. People are debating what "Level 5" means. Not what a score in the 500s means. No one on this thread, other than apparently you, has made any conclusions about raw score/100 equalling grade level.

Duh, you need to befriend reading comprehension! Scaled scored is used to determine child level (from the placement chart) which is then translated to Grade! This is how parents are claiming their child is at 6th Grade Math. Looks you need to read entire thread before understanding what you are your answering!

Yes. Your link merely stated that the first digit of the scaled score does not correspond to grade level. Well, obviously that is the case. It does not in any way state or suggest that a scaled score which is converted to Level 4 or Level 6 or whatever doesn't imply grade level correspondence. Clearly, you haven't read a lot of the iready documentation, readily available on the iready website.
