Our little Smarty-Pants

We all know the kids are smart, but now we have more proof. Homeschooled kids are required to take a standardized test every few years, and this was the year for Julianne and Caleb. We got their test scores back and they both did great!

The test covered several aspects of language (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) and math. Their scores were given on a percentile (not a percentage), which means the score shows how they did in comparsion to national standards.

Caleb scored in the 81st percentile, meaning he did better than 81% of all kids that took the test. He scored at grade level in one section and above grade level in the rest of the test.

Julianne did AWESOME. She scored in the 99th percentile, which is the highest score available! For one section of the test it lists her at grade level 11, and for all the other sections it lists grade level 12+.

They were both glowing when they got their results and we are very proud of them. I am not a fan of standardized tests and wouldn't test the kids if it weren't required....but it sure is nice when they do well. :-)
