I'm also wondering why they are looking at fall and spring norms when the test was administered mid-year. The mid-year norms seem to make the most sense to me and, like I said, it seems like she'd be well above average (easily in the top 25%) for the mid-year first graders -- which is who you're aiming to place her with.

Thank you for the link and the break down. The chart is dated 2008, but it is just showing fall and spring scores for KDG thru 8th. Maybe since she took the test December they still consider it fall, though I'm not sure why.
