Extremely Helpful Classroom Assessments with Clear, Actionable Domain Results **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rachel A. | 4th Grade Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2026 **What do you like best about i-Ready Assessment?** The assessment results are extremely helpful in the classroom. The results are broken down into domain and give a very clear picture of what students are capable of. Iready also gives a description of what students can do and what the next steps for instruction would be in each domain. They are easy to read, easy to navigate and extremely useful. **What do you dislike about i-Ready Assessment?** The assessment is a little bit long and boring for students. There is nothing I dislike about the results it provides or the reports it writes. **What problems is i-Ready Assessment solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a teacher, it can be difficult and time consuming to assess every student on every standard and get a clear picture of where they are academically. Iready solves this problem by assessing all students and breaking down their results by domain so I know what to do to meet them where they are and move them forward. ### 2. I-Ready Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Charlie G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2023 **What do you like best about i-Ready Assessment?** I find the i-Ready Assessment easy to administer to students. I like how if a student exits the test or accidently leaves the page, it keeps place and students can continue where they left off. Students rarley as questions on how to use the interface. Studnets do enjoy the brain break. I find the presentation of the data easy to read, understand and explain to a parent. I like all the information and different reports that are created with the test data. I regualry look at the prerequisit report to help me guide my planning and instruction. **What do you dislike about i-Ready Assessment?** I dislike the lenght of time it takes to complete an assement. I also do not think the test algorythm is as good as Curriculum Associates claims it to be when providing questions to students during the assessment. Often, second grade students will go inot taking the mid year or end of year assesment at a 1st grade level according to their previous asseemnt and see questions that are clearly not second grade standards such as adding and subtracting fractions or multplying/ dividing large numbers. These students would have never been exposed to these skills because thier paths are set on 1st grade standards. This fustrates them because they know they try and this extends the amount of time the test takes and ultimatley students are still at the first grade begining of second grade. I have never had a student make progress that big. I also wish that students could take the test more fequently as a way to readjust thier learing paths. I know I can do it mannuelly but would prefer that test to adjust to be more accurate. **What problems is i-Ready Assessment solving and how is that benefiting you?** The iReady solves a few problems. First it provides information on student growth that our school disctrict uses. Second it provides me, a classroom teacher, information I can use to help guide instrucation very easily. Finally I can use the i-Ready data to help proivide information on a student when trying to get academic intevention services or special education services. ### 3. i-Ready Teacher Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sandra J. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2023 **What do you like best about i-Ready Assessment?** I really like the data that our school gets from i-Ready. The reports are easy to read and I like that I get a snapshot view of where my students are in the different domains. My students also enjoy the game breaks that are built into the assessment. **What do you dislike about i-Ready Assessment?** The assessment is long and it is hard to keep students motivated at times to do their best as they are working on it. **What problems is i-Ready Assessment solving and how is that benefiting you?** i-Ready is one of the data points that we use for our Title 1 ranking.

Using the iReady diagnostic gives me specific data on students' skill levels and the next steps they need.

The online lessons are engaging and teach skills well. **What do you dislike about i-Ready Assessment?** The iReady diagnostic is a lengthy test, so I need to be sure to give students enough time to work.

Teachers use assessments to determine the different levels of the students while preparing differentiated resources. Once i-Ready Assessments are rendered, different activities and resources are developed in a centralized location while giving the teacher time to plan. The resources that are identified and assigned per student, can be found within the i-Ready material. **What do you dislike about i-Ready Assessment?** I can honestly say that I have not encountered a downfall in the Assessments. They provide teachers and admin with the proper information to assist in preparing individual students for the next level. A lot of information is connected to the i-Ready Assessment, but it must be used with fidelity. If used correctly, teachers should see progress. **What problems is i-Ready Assessment solving and how is that benefiting you?** The i-Ready Assessment is a great progress monitoring tool, used to track student progress according to the Mississippi Curriculum.

We also sent the data home to parents when the tests were given the three times required. **What do you dislike about i-Ready Assessment?** The iReady assessment took planning and time to make happen for our building. Even though the program has some accomodations built-in, more accommodations were needed for some of our students. I appreciate the universal accommodations for all; that helped the majority of our students. **What problems is i-Ready Assessment solving and how is that benefiting you?** If I had a problem, I would contact one of our academic coaches.

The record of data that is available to better place students.
