If the parent report is just plain lost....at least in FL, I did some investigating and there is no way to get a parent report reprinted...one copy of the FCAT parent report is all that can be printed.
But you can make an appointment with someone in the original district very familiar with interpreting the data and have that person go over your child's scores on that print out.
I know that teachers get print outs and administrators get print outs and they sit for hours analyzing the data. My dh is a teacher and from his printout he could explain it all to you.
The parent report tells you the level. 1-5. 1 and 2 are below level, 3 three is proficient, 4 and 5 are highly proficient (but not above level). Then it gives you scaled scores that you can see year to year comparisons and then it breaks down say the reading test into about 3 or 4 types of questions and gives you how many say lit analysis questions he got right, how many total and state average of correct for those types of questions. There are a few graphs.
But the test does not test anything above grade level. It provide good information for 1, 2, and 3 scorers about strengths and weaknesses but for 4s and 5s they hit the ceiling and the funny thing I think is...with my son...it doesn't tell you if he would have scored exactly the same on the first day of school on the FCAT as he does in the spring.
So my advice is to get an appointment with the principal at the original school and say that the parent report is lost during the transfer of records and you need him or her to sit down with any printout they can find and go over it with you. If the principal can't he needs to provide the name of someone who can because they lost the parent report.
