Yeah, that's awesome! I'm not sure if I had any of the highest scores. But I had 100% pass the reading part. I have one child who was supposed to be screened for special ed but they never came to get her (gotta love the education system) and even she passed! She can hardly read anything. I only had 3 fail the math part...two of whom are my EIP students and I knew they would fail. The other one surprised me but only failed by 5 points. One of my teacher friends had 7 fail. I was very proud of myself.
