Just got our end of year results and DS also jumped significantly- 14 points in growth in math just from Winter testing and 14 points in Language Usage from Winter testing as well.
I just giggled mostly because he is a mid-year grade skip from 1st to 2nd. The school told us to expect a drop in his scores from beginning to winter because they switch from P-MAP to MAP. But his scores went up. They thought it was a fluke. Then they went up again.
The good thing about NWEA is that it is untimed. So kids can figure out the answer even if they don't know it rote. I think that's an important skill!
