No Fall MAP report on ParentVue yet?

Ugh, still nothing.

Thanks for sharing. Did they have any estimates of how long it might take?

I only know it's a NWEA issue because our math content coach was told about it during an office hours Zoom this past week. Our administrators had not even been told about the issue. The MAP reports are usually up a week or two after the window closes so this is extremely late this year. We've discussed possibly printing the report and just sending hard copies home to families.

My 8th grader applied to SMCS program. How will the committee know the results?

The scores are viewable on our MCPS data dashboards for staff but the specific report NWEA provides for parents on ParentVue is the one with the glitch.

What is reasonable for parents to ask teachers for before our parent teacher conferences? Is there something they are able to print fairly easily for us that has the percentiles and breakdown by subcategory (the avg/hi/etc labels), or is that tine-consuming for them or unavailable and we should just ask for them to email us the numerical scores?

Anyone have any insight on this?

Why doesn't MCPS communicate this instead of ignoring parent questions about this?[/quote

Because the percent of parents actually searching ParentVue everyday for this is soo small.

Your evidence for that is what exactly? We had open house last week, and parents were asking for when the test scores were going to be uploaded. This is something MCPS should be communicating.

+1 If there is a problem with the scores, why doesn't MCPS say something about it. We all shouldn't be using PT conference time to ask about this stuff that is normally uploaded by now.

What doesn’t McPS actually send an email about the delay. So many of their emails are useless …and then they don’t communicate actual news

Had a parent teacher conference today. Got a hard copy printout of my kid’s map scores with national norms listed but not the local norms.

Teacher had no idea why the test scores were so delayed in being posted on ParentVue-said the school has had them “for ages”.

They don't want people to see the local norms.

It's obvious that is what it is.

Not to be dense, but why wouldn’t they want people to see the local norms?

I don’t think there are delays because MCPS is doctoring data they don’t like. I think it’s probably something far less sinister but more incompetent

Because it would reflect poorly on MCPS for the local norms to be below national norms.

Why else would the teachers hand out the printouts with national norms only, when in the past they always sent home the print out with national and local norms?

It would look kind of weird to have had the same MAP testing report for a decade plus (I've had the same format in parentvue since my kid started K), and suddenly to discontinue it for Fall 2025. My guess (and I do not work for MCPS) was that they were having a hard time with analyzing the data for the new norms or something...but not that all we were going to have going forward are these strange hard copy reports that don't even show percentiles.

Because, as we've already been told, there is a glitch with NWEA and the usual reports cannot be generated right now?

A glitch with NWEA that only affects MCPS? My friends in HoCo have their MAP reports.

Just checked. Still nothing.
