Well I think I can help some with the WISC-III scores. (Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children)

Basically the test gives you three main scores, Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, and Full Scale IQ. Both Verbal and Performance are comprised of 5 subtests each. That’s what you see below it, information, similarites,etc. The Full Scale is comprised of the Verbal and Performance scores together. Between 90 and 110 is usually considered average range. It’s very complicated.

It seems that your child is slightly above average. However there is a difference between his verbal scores and his performance. Which usually means that there is something he’s not getting, or understanding. The subtests have a raw score of 1-19 with 1 being very low. It looks like he has problems with coding (concentration, speed,visual motor ). So maybe he has a hard time concentrating on his work?

The other test the WJ-R (Woodcock-Johnson Revised) is used to determine if a student has a learning disability or not. It seems that he has a problem with writting.

If your child is going through Child Study or if the school is determining if he is eligible or not then they will have a meeting with you and will help you understand all the “foreign language” This is just what I understand from the test and what I know. The school psychologist will be able to tell you much more. So please don’t take my word for everything. I just thought I might be of little help. Hope all goes well for you and your son.
