Do you need all the benchmark scores? I thought it was 3 of the 5?
It reads, "At least three of the five scores listed, including the composite score." So would scores in reading, science, and english qualify even if composite and math are below 17 and 16 for 4th graders?
I'm pretty sure that you're correct. One of those three does need to be composite like you mention, though, so qualifying scores in reading, science, and english wouldn't do it if you bombed the math section, for instance, and didn't get the composite as a result.
