I'm looking over some of my child's test scores for 2nd grade and this one has me confused.
Sometime in the fall DS took a M-COMP test and scored a 39. At his fall conference, his teacher said he did "excellent" and that the benchmark was 15. She said the 15 benchmark was an average score but I now I wonder if this is true. She also said the test was on what they would be covering in 2nd grade which is why the benchmark was so low. (is this really what the M-COMP tests?)
I just got the percentiles (I wasn't given this in the fall). Apparently the M-COMP score of 39 is at the 96% nationally but ONLY 71% Locally. It is a large district, is it really possible that 29% of the district is in the top 4% nationally?
Now, I'm just confused as to how my child actually did and wonder if the teacher understands the testing.
