What is a good iready diagnostic score for 8th grade?

A "good" iReady Diagnostic score for 8th grade depends on what you mean by "good." Here's a breakdown:

  • Placement: The iReady Diagnostic is primarily designed to place students in the appropriate level of instruction. A "good" score here means accurately identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses so they receive targeted support. This means scoring at or above grade level generally.

  • Meeting Benchmarks: iReady sets benchmarks to indicate grade-level proficiency. Scoring at or above the grade 8 benchmark in both <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/iReady%208th%20Grade%20Reading">Reading</a> and <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/iReady%208th%20Grade%20Mathematics">Mathematics</a> is generally considered a good indicator of readiness for 8th grade curriculum.

  • Growth: iReady also tracks growth over time. Demonstrating significant growth from the beginning to the middle, and middle to the end of the year, regardless of the initial starting point, is a good sign.

  • College and Career Readiness: While iReady isn't a direct measure of college readiness, consistently scoring above grade level, particularly in <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/iReady%20Reading">Reading</a>, indicates a stronger foundation for future academic success. High scores in <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/iReady%20Mathematics">Math</a> similarly suggest a solid base for STEM fields.
