A good iReady Diagnostic score for 8th grade generally falls within specific score ranges that indicate grade-level performance or above. The iReady Diagnostic scores range from 100 to 800, and the score corresponds to the skills a student has mastered in both Math and Reading.
- A score around 696 is typically associated with the skills of an 8th to 9th grader, indicating performance at or above grade level.
- The iReady scores are often shown with national percentile norms. For example, a higher percentile (e.g., 60th or above) means the student is performing better than 60% of their peers nationally.
- Typical scoring ranges can vary by the season when the test is administered (Fall, Winter, Spring), but generally, scores in the higher 600s and above are considered good for 8th grade.
- The diagnostic also provides placement levels that reflect expectations for 8th graders, helping to identify if a student is below, at, or above grade level.
In summary, a good 8th grade iReady Diagnostic score would be in the range of 680 to 700+ in both Reading and Math, showing the student is at or performing above grade level skill mastery. Scores significantly lower might indicate the need for additional support or instruction. Scores much higher can indicate advanced mastery beyond grade level. This interpretation is based on national norms and the understanding that iReady is adaptive and measures mastery relative to grade standards.
