Fall 3rd grade math 203 is 82nd percentile. Winter score of 206 is 74th percentile. He is above average in the winter. Even though his score went up it did not go up at the same rate as other kids in the norm group (the drop in percentile).

As Iucounu said.. its just a snapshot of one day. There are many reasons for scores decreasing or no growth (low growth). Your child may have been fatigued, not feeling well, or just having a rough day.

I would contact the teacher to see what her plan (and yours) to ensure your son meets his growth goals for the year. I would also ask your son what he thinks about school and math. Is it too easy, too hard just right. Ask him about what happens in class. Does he get homework? How does it appear to you?
