Stanine Score..?

[RonaldMcDonald]

I got my child's stanine results today and was unsure what they actually mean
She also had a low letter sound knowledge score in YARC testing where the rest of her scores were very high
The teacher was also very concerned by my child being shy. She is.

I don't know what to make of it and the teacher wasn't terribly helpful as she had overrun due to an earlier parent and was very time constrained

Any help will be really appreciated

Any ideas?

It sounds like some kind of ability test.

Is the stanine score one digit between 1 - 9 inclusive or some 2-3 digit number?

How old is the child?

she's 6, May birthday
my wise friend has told me it has something to do with a PIE or a PIM however neither of us have gotten any further nor can we seem to find it to make sense of it via google

I'll try to have a chat after half term

I know nothing about stanines but found this with a google search.
What is saying is
if 100 children were given the test the lowest 4 children would get a score of 1, the next lowest 7 children would get a score of 2, the next 12 children a score of 3 etc.
A score of 5 is average.
I think that a score of 3-7 would be seen to be in 'average range' as that would be up to 1standard deviation from the mean average.

Perhaps it is this:

Progress in English (PiE), Progress in Maths (PiM).

The Standard Age Score\stanine stuff is a way of reporting their position relative to the nation's children.

Thanks...you are stars

Our school give stanine results, I think there was a sheet explaining it, I'll see if I can dig it out.

Oo ta!
