Scores are reported with the whole number representing the grade level equivalent and the number after the decimal representing the month in that grade level. For example, 12.6 represents achievement analogous to the 6th month of 12th grade.
Dr. Montessori developed her method of education on the belief that children experience readiness for certain lessons, subject to their own development. The extraordinary scores for many students demonstrate the benefits of making a variety of challenging work available to students at every step of their Montessori and academic journey. The scores can also be attributed to MSW faculty and families who helped the students develop to their full potential.
