Kenilworth SD 38 · IL
What matters most here
The earliest test that affects placement is MAP Growth, starting in 2nd Grade.
Kenilworth SD 38 names the tests that affect placement but doesn't publish the score you need. That gap is theirs, not ours.
What schools usually do with these scores
- Grouping. Screener results sort kids into small skill groups for reading and math. Groups are re-dealt after each testing window — fall, winter, spring — so a score follows your kid for about a trimester, not a year.
- Extra help and enrichment. Kids below benchmark usually get small-group support, checked every week or two. Kids far above it are the pool schools draw on for enrichment.
- Placement. Advanced-track decisions almost never hang on one test. Districts combine an ability test, an achievement measure, and teacher input into a matrix — which is why each score below earns its keep.

Not every test here has a published benchmark — where there isn't one, we won't invent a bar. And one score is one data point: schools decide from several measures across the year, plus the teacher's judgment.
