Today, you will find a copy of your child’s most recent Spring NWEA scores. Here is a quick reminder of how to read those graphs:
** I apologize, I couldn’t get colored copies, so we will go with the variation in black/grey.
Blue bar (black bar) = your student’s score (the S17 bar is the most recent test score)
Orange bar (dark grey) = the average score of all 1st graders in Dearborn Public Schools (this bar is actually not shown on the graph because it represents the average first grader in Dearborn, but the whole district is not finished testing yet, so those scores are currently unavailable)
Yellow bar (lighter grey) = the average score of all 1st graders in the country
At this point in the year, we would like to see the kids at a 184 for math and a 181 for reading. If your child didn’t quite reach that goal, it is okay. These are progressive tests and you can see the huge amount of growth they have made since September. If they are making growth, they will eventually hit their goal 🙂
I hope this helps clear things up 🙂
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask 🙂
Have a great weekend,
Ms. Otto
