iReady Performance Level ranking needs to be flipped
The performance levels that are pulled from iReady use descriptions and not numbers and when they are imported to Aeries, the test scores page shows numbers and I am assuming they are assigned by Aeries?
So it seems level 1 is the highest and level 5 is the lowest. Can this be flipped around please? SBAC and ELPAC use level 1 as the lowest and level 5 as the highest and it was really confusing at first. It would be so much helpful if this can be consistent with the State Test score levels.
p.s. I had submitted ticket #288638 for this previously. I had uploaded our district's test score files t the ticket.

i-Ready Performance Levels once imported to Aeries are reversed, with Level 1 showing as the highest achievement. That is incorrect. In California, the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) exams in ELA and Math are scored from Level 1 to Level 4, with Level 4 being the highest. The English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) is also scored the same. Many districts make use of standards-based grading rubrics for their local report cards, which also use higher numbers to represent greater proficiency and lower numbers indicating lower performance. This is also the case with i-Ready and educators are confused by why i-Ready's placement of "3 or More Grade Levels Below" is being represented by a Performance Level 5 within Aeries.

The way Aeries displays i-Ready data - with performance levels flipped so that 1 is the highest and 5 is the lowest - has caused significant confusion across our district. Since test scores are reviewed by a wide range of stakeholders, including teacher, principals, district staff, and parents, it is problematic that all other assessments, such as SBAC and ELPAC, use a performance scale where 5 is the highest and 1 is the lowest while i-Ready is the only assessment presented in the opposite format within Aeries.

Please add the ability to customize the Performance Level color and description to local bands for iReady? I have iReady tests appearing on the Student Profile and Test Details screen. This is displaying wrong information to the parents and staff because the performance band descriptions and colors are not aligned with our local bands for iReady OR add the ability to EXCLUDE iReady data from displaying in these pages. https://support.aeries.com/a/tickets/305836
