grade 5 - 750-950
grade 6 - 850-1050
grade 7 - 950–1075

that is the GOOD!!! we exceeded our expectations that we set out at the beginning of the year. we are well on our way to a lifelong reader. I could not be prouder.

Mathematics:
we studied over 15 hours and met expectations in Study Island, but it was just not enough, we still had 30% of the material to complete for the year, and so he only mastered 70% on the exam.

Magnus Score: 488
Standard score: 500
Commendable Performance: 640
he ended up with a Quantile Measure of 445Q which is within normal limits for his grade. Not a complete failure still within the norming.
