During school year 2023-24, most FCPS middle school students and some high school students took the online Reading Inventory (RI) and Math Inventory (MI) assessments.These computer-based tests provided teachers with information about students’ development in reading and mathematics skills that ensure every learner is on track to college and career readiness. Teachers used Reading Inventory and Math Inventory scores along with other data points to determine if a student needed additional academic support.
For school year 2024-25, middle and high schools will be transitioning to use iReady and MAP Growth tests to fulfill academic screening, growth, and diagnostic testing needs.
Math Inventory and Reading Inventory Score Report for Families
After each Math Inventory (MI) and Reading Inventory (RI) assessment window, student results are shared withparents and guardians and are used by teachers to inform instructional planning. Contents of the official Fairfax County Public Schools score report are provided below.
The FCPS MI/RI score report provides performance information from the student's most recent test in a testing window. Reports are generated in fall, winter, and spring. Families will only receive a report for a window when the student took one or both of these tests.
The report provides the current score (Lexile and Quantile) and current performance level (Advanced, Proficient, Basic, Below Basic). It also indicates whether the student's current score met the grade level end-of-year benchmark (Met, Not Met) and provides an overall description of proficiency for the current test (Meets Expectations, Approaching Expectations, Below Expectations). The target end-of-year grade level range for performance is provided for reference.
When a student takes a Math Inventory and/or Reading Inventory test in a testing window, families receive a custom score report within 1 month of the close of the testing window.
- The custom report is posted to the SIS ParentVUE Documents section
- Numerical scores are posted to the SIS ParentVUE Test History section
- For families without a ParentVUE account, the custom report distributed to the family from the school
MATH INVENTORY AND READING INVENTORY SCORE REPORT
To the Parents/Guardians of ________________________SID: ________________GRD: _____
Your student recently took a Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) screener assessment for mathematics and/or reading. Math Inventory is a computerized test that assesses students’ mathematics understanding along a developmental continuum. The Math Inventory generates a Quantile® (Q) score. Reading Inventory is a computerized assessment that evaluates students’ reading ability. The Reading Inventory generates a reader Lexile® (L) score. Teachers use inventory results together with performance on other assessments to help plan appropriate instruction and support as students learn new concepts and skills. Your student’s assessment results from the recent testing window are reported in the chart below.
Current score provides a way to measure growth. You can compare your student’s current score to the end-of-year grade level range. You can also compare your student’s scores from one window to the next to see progress in reading or mathematics. Generally, a student’s Quantile and Lexile scores will increase throughout the school year. When the current score is a negative value, it means that your student performed at the early stages of mathematics or literacy development on this current assessment.
Current performance level indicates how your student’s score compares to end-of-year expectations. In FCPS, a performance level of Proficient or Advanced is considered to meet benchmark; a performance level of Basic or Below Basic is considered to not meet benchmark. For students who do not meet the test benchmark, school staff review available data to determine if additional assessments and/or interventions are needed. The school will communicate any additional diagnostic scores and intervention plans with identified goals for your student.
If you have questions about these assessment results or your student’s strengths and needs in mathematics or reading, please contact your student’s teacher. If your student qualifies for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) services, please keep in mind that the screener assessment is administered in English, and your student is in the process of developing English language proficiency. Contact your student’s ESOL teacher for information on your student’s English language development.
