A student who scores at the 50th percentile is doing as well as or better than 50% of students nationally in the same grade. Percentile ranks do not tell you in an absolute terms how well your students are doing, only how well they are doing compared to other students at their grade level. In other words, normative information tells you nothing about students� mastery of the knowledge, skills, or abilities being measured, only about the relative standing of students compared to one another. Now if the school would just give us that percentile rather than just the number -- lol! Study Strategies for Accelerated Learners

Some options are to ask the school directly for the percentiles, ask CTY if you can just send the Lexile or Contact SRI Customer Service: Call Toll-free: 1-877-268-6871 Mon-Fri, 7 AM-6 PM CST E-mail: SRI@scholastic.com They may limit the info to school administrators and teachers though. Sorry for such a round about answer but I'm learning as I go along.

It is currently on the University of Denver campus, but they are breaking off from DU and going to form their own entity separate from a university. I did send dd's literacy teacher and email last night asking if we can get a report with the score and percentile on it. Last edited by Cricket2; 05/12/09 05:22 AM.
