MAP scores for my kid finally posted…
Does anyone know of a chart that lists the expected score by grade level? I would like to know based on the score what level my kid is at (they are well above what is listed as the average score for nation and grade). Thank you! |
Scores don't change much on average. If your score is well above average for your grade level, it's a live average for all grades. The scale stops at 8th grade, after which the scores barely change at all, probably because it's statistically bogus |
How did your scores post? ParentVue is still down for maintenance. |
There is no expected score. |
You can check it from the ParentVue website. |
It's not down. Clear your cookies. |
Hmm. My 2nd grader got a 234 scale score which according to the above is the mean for high school. They’re definitely not at high school level math. |
2nd grade takes the k-2 test. It's different and not high school level. For MCPS, expected scores are 50th percentile and above. |
That is an awesome score for a 2nd grader. |
Is the number correct? I know a 3rd grader got 252 and it is equivalent to 78% for a HS senior graduate? That does not make any sense...

See above |
Take it with a grain of salt. Mine got a 265 as a third grader. Math wasn’t really interesting until HS in SMCS. |
MAP-M doesn't go in to higher-level HS math. If a student has been exposed to concepts through Algebra II and have some aptitude, they are likely to get a very high score.
One can see the score distributions starting to advance less and less grade by grade beginning around 7th or 8th. This is despite a significant percentage of the upperclass HS population (nationally -- the percentiles are determined at that level) becoming exposed to PreCalc and Calc. High scores in early grades can be impressive, and I would not want to say they are meaningless, either as a source of pride or as one possible indicator of a high level of learned material (whether from MCPS teaching or from other exposure). However, they, by themselves, really don't identify prodigies, and the comparison of elementary students' scores to the learning levels of graduating seniors is a bit off. |
Make sure you adjust the tab to the administration cycle like beginning, middle, and end of year |
