Parents: How important are your child's standardized test scores?

Today my daughter’s CMT scores arrived, and it made me wonder what other parents think of the test scores. Do you reward kids for good scores? We don’t. Do the scores mean anything to you other than “My kid is good/bad/average at taking tests?” I know the overall scores are important for the schools, but I’d like other parents’ thoughts on state standardized tests and what they mean for you and your child personally.

I know there are some teachers here on Fluther, and I’d also be interested to know if their students’ individual scores matter, or if only the school average/district average is important.
