Hi all great site! I am new here and trying to find some information on the RIAS. My DD5 (Kindergarten), recently was individually given the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales by one of our school districts psychologists. Her results came back as follows:
Intelligence Index Standard Score
Composite 152
Verbal 136
Nonverbal 150
My question to you is what does this all mean? Is the Reynolds a valid test? How come the district uses this test instead of a more popular one, is it a money thing? I see that Davidson does not accept this test when determining eligibility for they DYS program. How come? Is the test junk? Finding out info on this test is few and far between. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. The public school she is in is one of the few good schools in our district and they do offer a gifted class one day a week at the school. There is another school in the district that offers a full time gifted program which you have to enter a lottery to get into. So it is all luck if you get in.
Thank you in advance for any help you may provide,
BFC
