Mrs. Albertson's i-Ready students Kindergarten

Over the course of the week, we will share the top-scoring students who performed well with i-Ready testing. i-Ready Diagnostic scores (100–800) measure K–12 reading & math mastery. Scores increase as students advance through grades.

📊 Key Metrics:
• Scale Score: Tracks growth over time across all grades
• Performance Tiers: Early/Mid/Late On Grade Level or Below (1-2+ years)
• Growth Measure: Shows if students are on target to improve
• Testing: 3x yearly (Fall, Winter, Spring)

“On Grade Level” = score within current grade range, with higher scores expected Fall→Spring. Focus on grade-level placement, domain strengths & growth over time.

🌟 Congratulations to Mrs. Schmidt’s Young 5’s Stars! 🌟

We’re so proud of these exceptional students for their outstanding i-Ready test scores!

📚 Reading Superstars: Leilani Smith, Maverick Gruber, and Charlotte Findlay
➕ Math Whizzes: Charlotte Findlay, Foster Peck, and Tyler Altz

Your hard work and dedication are shining through. Keep up the fantastic effort! 💪✨
