My kid just started 1st grade. He got a 96th percentile reading at end of kindergarten on the MAP standardized test and had “secure” scores (highest possible) on all the report card categories at end of year.

I wrote back saying I’m confused to hear this based on the other scores he’s had and haven’t heard back yet. My MIL is a speech teacher and said she’s never heard of the assessment the teacher mentioned. I’m annoyed because I feel like she asked if my son would do this certification then dropped a bomb that he only scored 18th percentile on something. Like if he’s falling behind wouldn’t that merit more than making me dig for the info behind her initial email? Also confused about how he could have fallen so far in 4 months. Any advice or support appreciated.
