Understanding i-Ready Placement Tables and Assessment Scores.

The i-Ready Diagnostic is designed to pinpoint each student’s academic needs and guide them toward grade-level proficiency from Kindergarten through 12th grade. These assessments measure how well your child performs on various skills, then suggest an appropriate placement based on grade-level expectations.

After your child completes an assessment, their overall score reflects how they performed across all tested skills. Individual domain scores (like reading comprehension, phonics, or math operations) help you see which areas may need additional focus or support.

i-Ready uses specific score ranges—called placement tables—to categorize your child’s performance. These categories let you quickly see whether your child is at, above, or below the grade level for each subject tested. Over 100 educators helped establish these standards, ensuring that they’re research-based and consistent for students everywhere.

Because i-Ready provides this kind of consistent scoring, it’s easy for parents and teachers to track changes in a student’s skill level over the school year. By comparing new assessment scores to previous ones, everyone can see how much progress your child is making and identify any areas that may need extra attention.

How to Read the i-Ready Placement Tables.

• Find the relevant placement table.
• Search for the student’s grade in the first column to understand their placement level. (Note that the table’s format may have been revised from previous versions).
• Determine the student’s score range and consult the corresponding label to find out their exact grade-level placement. Each cell’s color corresponds with the placement level indicated in the score reports.

The visual representation in the i-Ready Diagnostic Scores Placement Tables for 2023-2024 includes a color-coded system for easy interpretation. For example, a third-grade student with an overall reading score of 500, falling within the 474-510 range, would be placed at a second-grade reading level. This is indicated by a light yellow color in the table, denoting the student is performing below their current grade level in reading.
