hi all
i used to post a lot about my daughter who is gifted but now (under a new name i think mine was deactivated) I have a question about my son, who is a special education student. I just received a copy of his Individualized Education Plan and in it there were some test scores that i think may be inaccurately reported and interpreted... This is how they were reported:
Woodcock reading Mastery Test- Revised
passage comprehension 7.4 (percentile)
Word Attack 6.9 (Percentile)
Word Indentification 6.9 (Percentile)
After seeing these scores in PRINT i just don't think they make any sense. Reading is a strong subject for him, but these scores are being used to justify pulling him out of class more often (which we strongly oppose).. At our meeting we did not see a score report and the scores were read as 7th percentile and 6th percentile. He was a fourth grader at the time (March of his fourth grade year) and his age was 9 years 11 months. I feel these must be grade level equivlents... In prior years he always got in the 90s as far as percentile scores.... Can anyone tell me what the percentile scores would be if these are indeed Grade level scores and not percentiles?? can a percentile be reported like this (with a decimal point??)... Thanks in advance
irene
