It truly amazes me as well. But I did ask her, and she doesn't have the scores either. Now what do you suggest? I ask because you seem to experience yourself as knowledgeable on this topic.

If your teacher doesn’t have your child’s score inquire about why and ask who in the school you need to speak with to obtain (administrator, grade level team lead, SDT). If your child’s teachers doesn’t have the scores that’s much more concerning then the reports not being available on ParentVue.

My kid got a 163! But what does that mean without the benchmark and the national scores. It’s not just a number we seek.

+1. My understanding is that they updated the benchmarks this year for the first time in a few years. If not, it’s like the MCAP scores this year, where they just tell us the scores and then tell us to wait to get the info on how to interpret them.

Is there a testing office at MCPS? I went through the directory and couldn't figure out who manages this MAP stuff. Happy to write the person in charge and report back to DCUM if someone gives me a name.

It might be these guys? https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/directory/directory_Boxoffice.aspx?processlevel=62501

Yes. Email the new supervisor: [e-mail]

+1. Let’s have her get some inquiries from the folks of DCUM.

I know it's not the same as the report, but you can look up the rough percentiles (new 2025 norms) in the tables at the end of this document, starting around page 48: https://www.nwea.org/resource-center/white-paper/88182/MAP-Growth-Norms_NWEA_Technical-Manual.pdf/

(Also teachers should know the percentile and you can ask for that when you ask for the score.)

Is this teacher with MCPS? Yes, we can access the scores and print them for parents. I printed MAP scores for all of my parent/teacher conferences.

At my school, some teachers have been using/hoarding crazy amounts of copy paper. As a result, teachers now receive one pack of copy paper every 3 or 4 weeks. I think it’s every four weeks. Anyway, I used this paper to copy all of the MAP information for parents (after reading it wasn’t available on ParentVue here on DCUM). I did have a few parents tell me they already had their child’s scores though…not sure what to make of that

Someone should invent a way to share two sentences worth of information without using a whole sheet of letter-size paper.

I am a DP and also asked my kid's teacher for this and they declined. They also weirdly discussed the results with the laptop conspicuously turned away from us during the conference. It was super bizarre. Maybe this is normal behavior in MCPS but it felt so weird to be discussing documents we didn't have, couldn't be given and couldn't even have a glimpse of.

This is clearly a teacher issue. They could have made a slide with the information. Score, growth percentile, and answered any questions about particular strands. This is what our teachers did during virtual conferences.

Insane to waste masses of teachers' time to copy out standardized test result data that should be published fully automatically via computer

At our school this seems to be a principal issue. My impression was the teacher was following a rule set by someone above her. Our school explicitly tells parents to come prepared to ask teachers questions at the conference. The teachers do not prepare slides or any other information.

So your teachers just show up with a smile? No info to share about your student, their performance, and not even a work sample to show what they mean? I've had kids in three different school system in two different states and including public and private. I've done conference in person and virtual and have never had a teacher show up that unprepared. Even in MS where it was round robin and crazy, the teacher had an accordion file for each of their classes.

The conference that annoyed me was the HS counselor.

Maybe I've just been blessed with good teachers for conferences, and I certainly thank them for the efforts and work. But if you're not getting anything unless you ask questions, then as has been stated, this is a teacher and principal issue and you should absolutely bring it up.

+1 This is literally the reason why the MCPS central office exists. Teachers shouldn't be taking time out of their day to do something that has been automated.

Have the percentiles changed? I see that it doesn’t go beyond 95, the past tables went up to 99.

It's very clear this is how they do it for the whole school. ES in Silver Spring. It's ridiculous. It's not my job to fix their incompetence. I come prepared, get what I can from the conference and supplement at home.

That link just has the percentiles by 5s but the actual reports have it by the percentile including 99th and everything else. Ask your teacher if you're curious.

All that information should have been shared before the meeting, in ParentVue and Canvas

It's such an inefficient use of time to have a teacher digging around for info that for years we've gotten posted automatically in October. MCPS should have sent out a message about this delay and their plan for releasing the data before we got into the season for parent-teacher conferences.

Still no MAP on Parentview. It’s December. Is there no plan to ever post it?
