Computer Assisted Instruction Report?? Childs report card help!?

My 3rd grade son as part of his report card has a Computer Assisted Instruction Report which I can’t understand. There is 2 parts CAI Reading which he got level 3.19 at 81% and CAI Math which he got level 4.24 at 69%. Is this good?? Is there a website that would help me understand this grading system?

Why don’t you call the school and ask? They are professionals.

CAI means they sit in front of a computer and answer multiple choice tests with a mouse instead of a pencil. The percentages can be how high or low he scored compared with the others in his class, school, county or state.
