No. It's a percentile rank. I think 91st percentile corresponds to around 43 correct out of 60 problems.


I would think if my kid only got 43 out of 60 correct, they would not be ready for Algebra!!


My kid got 99% but for those that got 91-98%, I would think you’d trust Fcps on this (rather than you)

We too received yesterday. Is it Mantua? I think they were the last ones


Nope, not Mantua. So there's at least 2 slow ES schools out there!

Same. But it can still be quite a few wrong at 99%.


It's 0-3 wrong. My kid got 4 wrong and 98%


Thanks for this.

Good to know... My child also scored in the 98th percentile. I requested the full report. but was told it could take up to a week.


How? Who do I ask?


Our letter was signed by the assistant principal. I just emailed her the request.

Ask the teacher or assistant principal who signed the IAAT form letter that you've received.
They really should provide the full report to everyone. Since it breaks down the number correct in each category, it would help parents identify weaknesses. It also lets you know how many problems your kid didn't answer.

But, if they have gaps in their understanding due to poor teachers, they would struggle in Algebra and should instead take M7H. FCPS middle school teachers want the vast majority of AAP kids to be in M7H and not 7th grade Algebra I. They've seen far too many kids who are unprepared and struggle in 7th.

I wish they flagged 5th and 6th grade teachers who seem to have overly low IAAT pass rates or a lot of very low scores from their classes. It would be another data point on teachers who are not effectively teaching the material.


I’m the PP with the teacher who has had a family emergency this year. Our school does not accelerate advanced math until grade 6, so it was definitely an issue. The expectation is that kids do all of 6th and 7th grade math in 6th grade. With the teacher out for long stretches and others covering for a few minutes (15 minutes) and not every day, it is hard on everyone. It would hard to judge these kids against the rest of FCPS 6th graders in advanced math, especially since those at centers and local level iv started 7th grade math at the beginning of this year. Our school isn’t an aap center or local level iv. It’s just level III kids who happen to be good at math. Oh well. The situation sucks, and there’s nothing anyone will do about it.
