Percentile Range/RIT Score
Percentile Range: This is the percent at which your
child is performing compared to students being tested
at the same grade level.
RIT Score: The closer the student gets to a RIT score of
250 that harder it is for the student to make gains. The
student is seeing material that is mostly well above
grade level.
Curriculum Changes:
