My daughter switched schools this year to go to a charter school that lets her work at her own pace. It's a big improvement.
She took the school standardized exams last spring and I am still trying to get results from them. Her old school told me they couldn't give me the scores because they only distribute scores at parent teacher conferences. Then they told me the scores were in the materials sent to her new school, so they couldn't give me the scores.
The new school says they did not receive the parent printout of scores (which explains the parts of the test). They gave me a printout of her scores from her state record, but it's incomprehensible (i.e., did she score 4 out of 4, out of 8, out of 100?).
I finally called the state department of education last week and talked with a testing specialist. I read off info from my printout and she couldn't figure it out either. She said to insist on getting the parent report from the old school.
Don't they have some sort of legal obligation to give me meaningful scores after all the time she had to spend preparing for and taking these exams? Talking with her old school has been completely unproductive. Do they have an obligation to give me these scores, or is it the responsibility of the new school (who did their best with the confusing report they gave me)?
