The numbers for the California Achievement Test are percentiles;  there
should be one for each large portion of the test (say, English), and then
one each for the subsections thereof (reading comprehension, vocabulary,
whatever -- I don't know which subjects the kindergarten version covers).

Basically, each score is telling you how many percent of the children
nationwide did worse than your child in each tested area.

Hope this helps...
