Thank you longcut That information is really helpful! Would her KTEA-3 scores tell me how she has tested on above grade level materials? I asked the school for this information and they said:
"Unfortunately, while standardized assessments provide helpful information on student’s performance relative to age/grade peers, standardized assessments do not provide solid information on real world specific academic instructional levels. The standardized instruments include items that statistically have been answered correctly by students at various grade levels, however, responses to those items does not translate easily into an instructional or “grade” level. Specifically, answering an item correctly does not equate to having developed academic skills at those specific grade levels. The standard scores from DD performance show us that she performed as well or better than 98% of kindergarten students with her responses to reading comprehension items and, as well as or better than 95% of kindergarten student her responses to math concepts. "
I don't know what 98% or 95% mean in relation to grade standards -- I just know her teacher reports mastery of all K materials.
