iReady scores help parents and teachers understand how a student is performing in reading and mathematics. The results can include a scale score, national percentile, placement level, and growth information. These details help families identify strengths, understand learning gaps, and see how a student is progressing.



For the 2026–2027 school year, parents may notice an important name change on school reports. Curriculum Associates is changing iReady Diagnostic to iReady Inform for both reading and mathematics. The new name reflects the assessment’s purpose of providing useful information that can guide instruction and learning decisions.



Is iReady Inform a Different Test?



The change from iReady Diagnostic to iReady Inform is primarily a rebrand, not the introduction of an entirely unrelated assessment. Curriculum Associates says the assessment will continue to provide valid and reliable data, familiar reports, and instructional support.



A shorter assessment option will also be available during the 2026–2027 school year, responding to requests from educators to reduce testing time while preserving useful results.



Families may see both names during the transition:



iReady Diagnostic

iReady Inform

iReady Inform, formerly iReady Diagnostic



The important point is that the assessment still measures reading and mathematics performance and helps schools determine what students know and where additional support may be needed click here for the updated I-Ready Diagnostic scores charts for 2026 and 2027 in Math and Reading according to Readyscores.com.



What Does iReady Inform Mean for Scores?



The name change does not mean parents should interpret the assessment results as an entirely new type of score. Families can continue looking at information such as the scale score, national percentile, placement, and growth.



Parents should compare results with the correct grade, subject, and testing season. A score from one grade or season should not automatically be compared with information from another.



iReady Reading and Math Results



iReady Inform continues to provide information for Reading and Mathematics.



A student's results can be different between the two subjects. One subject may show stronger performance while another may indicate areas that need additional practice.



Parents can review scale scores, percentiles, placement, and growth to get a clearer picture of their child's academic performance.
