do parents see MAP Scores?

[Anonymous]

Is there a link to see how the scoring works or the scores for my kid? We are new to MCPS. She told me her math score but can't remember her English.

Not in MCPS but we get MAP scores like a month or so later, as a printout that shows their score and their percentile etc. It's true that the kids see their numerical score right away (which means nothing if you don't know the general percentile ranges) but you'll likely get a printout in a month or so.

Also new to testing (from private). My kid got 258 in math and 256 in the other. I believe the top score you can get is 300. Not sure how this will chart percentage wise. And this has nothing to do with grades, just school assessment according to his counselor who told us about the tests at the beginning of the year.

There is no hard limit that any human ever reaches. It's a statistical curve.

They will be up in ParentVue in probably about a month (under documents). If you want a copy of the report, though, the teacher (or counselor) can send it to you.

More like 3 months later

They typically refuse or simply don't do it. I know I'm legally entitled to this information but didn't want to make a fuss.

This. MAP scores aren’t secret. Look it up.

You can look up the percentiles to see how they track. What grade?

Our teachers have always provided the reports, or at least the scores.

I have reports of a similar score. We have a 9th grader so I am guessing 80%? Obvioulsy these tests don't count personally but it is good to see how they do and good to do practice tests.

In fall math, a 256 is 93rd percentile for 9th grade.
In fall reading, a 258 is 98th percentile for 9th.

They will show up in ParentVue after a while, OP. No worries.

This table is from 2020. Wouldn’t the percentile change each time based on everyone’s scores (because your percentile is how you scored relative to everyone who took the test at that time)?
