Thank you, Dottie. That graph explained it all, and I was able to look at the test scores in a completely different light. Interestingly, the school doesn't do anything individually with the test results. They don't even give them out unless they are specifically asked for them (and for a year, I didn't even know I could ask). In fact, the kindergarten teacher had told me don't worry about them, they don't mean anything at this age, so I assumed they were pretty low. I think the school uses them to track where the school is as a whole with respect to academic performance.
