Yes, your CPS 6th grader should receive their testing accommodations unless those accommodations invalidate the test (such as receiving a read aloud accommodation on reading items). Please talk to your student’s teacher if you have questions.

Exam results are mailed via USPS approximately six weeks after the scheduled exam date to the address listed in Focus. Exam results are not permitted to be given via telephone.

In order to qualify for Walnut Hills High School, students must score a minimum of the 65th percentile on both the iReady Reading and Math assessments, and have a composite score (iReady Reading + iReady Math) of no less than 140. A student’s highest Reading score and Math score from the Fall and Winter administrations will be used to determine the composite score. These scores have not changed from previous years.

No. To ensure consistency and equity in the testing experience, only iReady assessment results will be used to determine eligibility for Walnut Hills High School for CPS 6th graders. 

Questions can be directed to your student’s school.
