Can someone please help me interpret these scores?
Bit of background...my dd is about to turn 8 and is in second grade. Last year the school did an IQ test because she was struggling with her reading. Her IQ was 123 and she scored the max on a few subtests like block design. The school told us that she didn't have a learning disability because her IQ was high, she was bright and would catch up.
Fast forward, we are now living in GA and the school here did the CogAT test last Fall. She scored Verbal 93, Quantative 94, Nonverbal 60.
We were concerned about the big gap there but the school said it wasn't a big deal, that she was bright and they wanted to test her for their gifted program.
Well I just got the results from that and...
ITBS:
Total Reading 40
Total Math 50
Total Battery 59
GES-3:
Creativity 22
I know that these are not extremely low test results but they are keep telling me that she is bright and smart, so why is she still struggling academically?
The school doesn't seem concerned but I'd be lying if I said that it isn't frustrating as a parent watching your child struggle at school but keep being told how smart she is, that she was being tested for the gifted program, etc.
Should I just let this go or should I push the school to test her for a learning disability?
