PSSA Results

We got the letters from school today telling us what our students individual scores where on the PSSA ( Pennsylvania System of Schools Assessment) Alex's grade ( 3rd last year) tested in two areas. Math and Reading.. and he was soooo worried about them all year that he made himself sick over it..
In the Reading the scoring is as follows
Advanced is 1442 and above
Proficient is 1235-1441
Basic is 1168-1234
Below Basic is 1167 and Below
Alex's reading score was 1367 which is Proficient.
With Assessment Error Margin of 1322-1412.
Which meaning on a diffrent day or enviroment he could have scored up or down to those numbers.. the lowest is still proficient but the highest is Advanced.. and he was only 80 pts away from advanced..

Math Scoring was as follows
Advanced 1370 and above
Proficent 1180-1369
Basic 1044-1179
Below Basic 1043 and Below
Alex's score was 1355 which is proficient
With Margin of Error being 1298-1412. Even before that he was only 15 pts away from Advanced He got 9 out ot 9 in Algabraic Concepts and Data analysis and probability 7out of 9 in Meausurement and Geometry and 27 out of 30 in Numbers and Operations. Which makes the state recommendations of advanced math work in both of the 9 out of 9 categories and continued grade work in theothers as well as in alll the reading sections.. he is soooooo happy.. In Math the entire grade level 3 ( this years grade 4's ) scored 20% over the state proficient level.. Highest in the school
