I was going to refer for AAP based on his really high NNAT but I’m not sure now.
It means he is in the 80th percentile for second graders.
If you look at your result there is also an ranged score for where they expect kids to be at the end of the school year and your child's current score. I have no idea if 80th percentile puts your child in the range of scores for the end of the school year or not.
iReady is not included on the AAP application so it should not mean much. What matters the most is how he is doing in the classroom and how his Teachers perceive his effort and skills.
Thank you very much.

Yikes. I didn't think he'd slipped that much. Maybe he's just not used to taking that sort of long test in school with all the distractions anymore? He's getting perfect scores on all his classroom comprehension tests.
When I talked to his teacher, she said he wouldn't be flagged even with the 27% because the principal came around this year and asked the teachers who among the bad scores they thought actually needed remediation. She wasn't concerned about him.
It’s one assessment. The student could have rushed, may have been distracted, might have not done well coming off of a year not in the school building, who knows?

A better question, though, is are you concerned? Do you think he needs remediation? It seems like at least some schools are so overwhelmed that they are looking for reasons not to help kids. I know teachers are exhausted. I know staff is hard to hire. But FCPS has almost $200,000,000 over the next few years to bring kids up to speed, and they need to use it wisely. That means helping kids who need help.

It’s not helpful to call me a troll. I am an honestly perplexed parent. I had almost finished my kid’s AAP packet when I saw the 80% iReady store.
Just do it. Seriously. I don't think the committee is that worried about iReady, I really don't.

How do you find out what the intervention cut off is? My child scored very low in both math and reading.
2 or more grade levels below
How do they measure this? How would I know what is 2 or more grade levels below on ready? Is that the 39?
Probably closer to the 20th percentile, but the teacher would have the individual areas.
Yes, his scores are in the low 20s and I've heard nothing from the school. I am going to reach out to the teacher later this week. What should I be asking for in terms of intervention?

below grade level in math. Approaching grade level on language arts.
Passed last year's SOL with a high pass or whatever it's called.
Son in first is way below on both. Around 28th percentile
Totally sounds like they deserve to be in an accelerated class
Pp here. My 4th grader had a nnat of 138 and a cogat total score of 146 (142 verbal and 135 quant). So on paper yes this is a kid who was identified as gifted. They are both behind and I guess are the only kids with covid learning loss in Fcps.
Hardly. I'm fairly sure learning loss has a lot to do with the teacher (if the parents didn't have the resources to supplement, whether those resources are time, money, energy, whatever).
