My 9 year old is in 4th grade and has always scored well on school administered, standardized tests (99.5% and above). However, due to a combination of changing schools a couple of times and formerly living in districts that do not have funding or programs available for advanced students, we have only just begun our journey into educational enrichment inside the classroom.
My son has been attending his current school for two years. Since the school is located in a district that does provide educational enrichment, they noticed the trend in his MAP and STAR scores between last year and this year and reached out to me to ask for consent to test for giftedness.
I just received his scores back and have discussed with the school, how best to meet his academic needs going forward. I have to say though, I am at a bit of a loss as to how to interpret all of this information. I saw some other posts here where people listed data and were able to receive insight into what it all means. I sincerely hope someone will be kind enough to lend me a hand, also.
Here is what I have been given:
Fall MAP scores:
Reading - 235 (99%)
Mathematics - 234 (99%)
November STAR score - 10.6 (GE)
WISC-V Test Scores:
Verbal Comprehension (VCI) - 142 (99.7%)
Fluid Reasoning (FRI) - 140 (99.6%)
Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) - 137 (99%)
Subtest score summary
Similarities - 19 (99.9%)
Vocabulary - 16 (98%)
Block Design - 12 (75%)
Matrix Reasoning - 16 (98%)
Figure Weights - 18 (99.6%)
Digit Span - 12 (75%)
Coding - 14 (91%)
