Each progress monitoring assessment covers the full-year content expectations for a particular grade level and subject. Therefore, at the beginning of the school year (PM1) and at the
middle of the school year (PM2), students may not yet be at grade level; however, this does not necessarily indicate that a student is not on track to succeed by the end of the school year
(PM3). The results from PM1 and PM2 are for informational purposes only, providing teachers and families information to help guide instruction and support throughout the school year
based on a student's strengths and weaknesses
Percentile rank indicates where your student's performance falls compared to all other students who took the same test in this window.
