My 8th grade son just received a letter from his MS that his standardized test score in reading (end of 8th grade test) was lower than grade level. This test (Milestones) has only been given for 2 years so, because it is new, our county has waived the requirement that lower than grade level scores require that the kid repeat the 8th grade. They are suggesting Summer School and a Retest of the test at the end of June. He has a B in his ELA class and has never had an issue in it. So, my question is: Will going into HS with a below average standardized test score affect him in HS and will it affect him when applying to college? I'm trying to decide whether summer school/retest is the right thing to do or not. Thanks!
