I think you're talking about 1 reading level. The DRA skips numbers at a certain point, since reading progresses differently as kids age (ie, the difference from the beginning of 1st to the 6th month of 1st grade is different from the beginning of 3rd to the 6th month of 3rd). I could be wrong, but I thing the DRA jumps from 30 to 34 to 38. That would put your DS at a 34 rather than a 30. You know your situation better than I do, but I have to wonder if one reading level is worth the fight. It could hurt the relationship you have with his teacher, which ultimately hurts the relationship HE has with his teacher. But maybe there's more to this picture...
