Do you mind sharing the stats ? MAP scores? |

Can you please share your kids MAP scores? |

It’s a lottery. They’re not choosing the students with the highest scores. Kids were already identified as being in the lottery pool or not if their scores met the threshold. Once you’re in the pool, it’s random chance. |

The raw map scores are meaningless bc they recalculate the scores based on the FARMS rate of your elementary school. |

| How are people being notified? Email or parentvue? Thanks! |

I was notified on Tuesday via email. There is nothing in ParentVue. |

I would still like to know what are the scores of the kids selected randomly.. I think it’s an important data point. |

What is that going to tell you, though? Do you think some of them were under the threshold? |

Ok, I'll tell you my kid's Winter MAP scores: Math: 88 Reading: 95 This is a sharp decrease from the past, by the way. This is the first time she's been lower than the 98th percentile in either subject. |

I don't think it's that important of a "data point," because you're only going to get a few of them, self-selected from DCUM. But okay. My kid was selected in the first round, but we declined. Winter MAP scores were 99th+ for reading (232), 95th for math (218), but had been 99th for math since Kindergarten, and he took the math the day after having been out for a long time with omicron. I assume that score will pop back up for Spring, but I'm not worried either way. A friend whose son was just notified of getting in off the waitlist had 99th+/99th+ for math and reading, but I don't know the raw scores. I believe this friend-- his son is my kid's friend and very very bright. High FARMS school BTW, although with those scores I'd expect both to have been in the pool no matter what school they came from. |

| Offered a spot off waitlist this week. My kid was in the lottery pool with winter MAP in 97th percentile (225) for reading (same exact score for math coincidentally). |

| I'm the person whose child was offered a spot at Oak View this week. Winter MAP was 95th percentile for reading, 27th percentile for math. Please cool your jets if you're about to get angry that a child with an unworthy MAP math score was offered an opportunity for enrichment -- I am almost positive I will be declining the spot. |

for CES, they don't look at MAP-math. |

| I know. But I also know that there's some angst among some posters here that children are getting into CES who they perceive don't deserve it. I guess I am oversensitive to that point. |

Not just that but these things are anecdotes from an anonymous board. These aren't established facts and there could also be a lot more to this story. |
