Anyway, congratulations! It sounds like your scores were well worth the wait. Given the percentiles we got last year, your daughter sounds closer to the ACT levels than you might think.

Dottie,

She is a 4th grader, but a 3rd grader by age (Nov. birthday). This is her first Explore test, so I'm not sure how she would have done as a third grader. Some of the 4th graders around here are turning 11 already at our school. There is a trend to hold back many summer/spring birthdays.
