Istation Indicators of Progress (ISIP) Testing

Everett is in the Core Knowledge program at his elementary school.  In September each student takes the ISIP (Istation's Indicators of Progress) Early Reading Results Test.  This test is a comprehensive computer-based reading program that maximizes a student's reading fluency, comprehension & retention and academic success.  Computer-adaptive assessments and curriculum present reading and writing fun, in an interactive way that motivates students to participate.


September's ISIP Test Results:
Ability Index 174
Percentile Rank: Better than or equal to 87% of students who took the test in September.
Grade Equivalent: Pre-K

Today Everett came home with his November ISIP Test Results:
Ability Index 203
Percentile Rank: Better than or equal to 99% of students who took this test in November.
Grade Equivalent: K.11 (Performing as an average Kindergarten student in their 11 month.)

I am so very happy we were able to enroll Ev in the Core Knowledge program in HEB ISD.  Everett loves his teachers and looks forward to getting up and going to school each morning.
