Our school changed the tests in 3rd. I know this for a fact because both her 3rd and 4th grade teachers told me the same information, I have no reason to doubt what they say. They are both great teachers.
Nautigal, her test result printouts show the District (there are 5 elementary schools in our district, so not just her school) and it does show a small drop across the district (but not quite as dramatic as my DD). Thanks for bringing that up, I will ask the teacher at conference about it.
Another unusual thing about the results this year is that normally they indicate with a "status" such as High or HighAvg or Low or something similar, in the different category breakdowns, but this printout shows a number range with no key to explain what that means.
Her "Foundational Skills and Vocabulary" area, as well as "Informational Text" seem to be the two number ranges that are lower, so I wonder if these are the two areas that she is struggling with and might need some extra help. It would be nice to know how to interpret this part.
