How's your child doing in school? Ask them and you get,"Fine." Don't stop there... Obtain a complete transcript of your child's academic record. Ask the school secretary or guidance counselor for a copy of your child's transcript. Have it mailed or go pick it up. Never send it home with your child.
Why and what it is? The transcript is a complete record of your child's "measured" academic achievement scores. The transcript is a chronological list by grade of your child's achievement test results for the basic skills including reading, math and language. It also provides clues about weaknesses.
The standard scores on achievement tests determine the level of actual student achievement. These scores are converted to percentile rankings and grade equivalents (G.E.). The G.E. shows the school year and moth that the student has "mastered." By comparing these scores, you'll find clues that will allow you to discover reason for your child's performance.. For most parents, this is a positive experience and produces positive results. Go ahead, call and request it. It'll make your day!
