IREAD Key Take-Aways
1. Pass rate slightly lower than expected, but no data to norm against given this was the school's first time taking the test.
2. About half the students have already retaken the test.
3. Second half of students will retake after summer school remediation. Expect to get at least a few more passers.
4. First time testing data showed a strong correlation between achieving STEP level 9 and passing the test. For the students who have retaken the test, this has not held though.
