Troll

Why would think this was a troll? These are not uncommon scores in independent schools.

Not the question asked but nice humble brag

I don’t think it is a humble brag. Just 2 data points and based on what I know about the students, lots of kids have scores in this range. I think most are 90+ percentile. I would be shocked if the median was lower than 90 percentile

Lol. That's not how percentiles work.

The percentiles are for all kids who took it. For an independent school, the median absolutely could be in the 90+ percentile

For a strong public school, the same could be true.

I’ve had my kids in both private and public schools and have never seen MAP tests reported against a single school. When we were at private, scores were reported against a consortia of schools in the region, and public schools report against other county schools or the region if the county is small.

How many students take this test? From what schools? Who’s included in the percentiles? What are the income and other demographics of the test takers?

Why isn’t this disclosed?

Our school gives us the averages by grade.

Both schools DC attended used ERB, not MAP. Anyone know which is more common?

MAP is much more common, by an order of magnitude.

MAP percentiles are national, but obviously individual schools have access to their students' scores and can compare how their own students are doing compared to the national average. MAP may provide other percentiles comparing a student against a regional norm, other independent schools, or some other collection, but this data is not readily available to parents.

According to ERB, about 200,000 kids.

Because they don't ask that kind of data of every public and private school kid who sits for the test 2-3x a year. Do you report your income frequently to your private school?

This was done with ERB scores, but I haven't seen it done with MAP scores.

Fine. Can they at least report the number of students from each state/district, or is that too hard too?

The percentiles are meanings unless you know who else took the damn rest! To whom is your snowflake being compared?

Have you looked at the NWEA website? 86% of American students are public school students, you can see which school districts use MAP.

+1 Or asked your school guidance counselor. You're paying tuition so they can answer questions like this.

That information would be useless to you since you have no understanding of statistics.
