I have been holding the results of my children’s TCAPs for more than a week now. I have mixed feelings about standardized tests, especially the way that the school prepare and administer them, but here are the highlights of the results. Obviously one of my children didn’t even try. I know this because last year’s scores were so different.

Sarah’s scores:
Language 98%
Math 99%
Science 88%
Social Studies 67%
Total 97% (they don’t include science or social studies to figure this)

Noah’s scores:
Language 97% (10th grade equivalency)
Math 91%
Science 93%
Social Studies 61%
Total 95% (they don’t include science or social studies to figure this)

Tommy’s scores:
Reading 13%
Language 20%
Math 1%
Science 1%
Social Studies 4%
Total 3% (they don’t include science or social studies to figure this)
