What is a Quantile?
     www.Quantiles.com

     Quantiles measure student readiness to learn a mathematics concept, and are designated by a number followed by the letter "Q" (as Lexiles are followed by an "L").  The Quantile Framework spans the developmental continuum from kindergarten through high school mathematics--from 0Q to above 1400Q.  A student's quantile measure can be found on the Confidential Student Report. For example, a student with a Quantile measure of 500Q would be ready for instruction on mathematics concepts measured at a level of 500Q. Teachers can use this information to target instruction, forecast understanding and improve mathematics achievement by connecting a student’s quantile measure to resources that have been quantile-leveled.
