How common is a math or reading MAP score at the 99th percentile in this area?

We've got plenty of 99% MAP scores in the BCC cluster and other parts of Maryland too.

Same.

No one from west Bethesda gets an into ti G&T/ CES now that they apply the “cohort rule”. If there are too many 99% people you “don’t need CES and should stay with your cohort at home school.”

CES is only for URMs that score above the masses as the badly performing cohort schools.

~99.9%ilers at schools like that get into CES. (I don't know the actual number.)

Not from Whitman cluster ES’s.
Before the new cohort rule they’re used to have several per ES, now it’s 0-2.

My kid got 190 for math when he started k, and now 210 at first grade winter. We have not done any math enrichment, but he asks me for some higher grade math questions. His progress seems slow, and I don't know if I should sign him up on math enrichment (apps or Russian math)since he loves math so much. They are not cheap, but I believe he would love it. I am not sure if I should spend the money. What do you think? He knows some fractions and simple pre algebra.

Nobody really knows, but we do know two things that might help put this in perspective.

MCPS MAP scores are a percent or two higher than national averages, according to the statistics that MCPS publishes.

We also know from the MCPTA info they recently released through their FB group that the top 15% at a low-farms school is roughly the top 5% locally.

There are boatloads of quality free material up through algebra 1, all over the internet and linked from all over DCUM.

I probably wouldn't run to RSM for a kid of age 7. Just playing math games is fine at that age. When they're older and have a grasp of the basics and still interested in going deeper, then I'd consider it maybe at age 9 or 10.

In MCPS, scores for some areas/kids tend to go on the higher end.

Presumably those Wealthy Potomac Schools we keep hearing about!

Yes, they offer enrichment that isn't available to the lesser schools.

Says everyone on DCUM. In reality the teachers at my kids schools have acted like you describe re my kids very high scores (high 99th). 99th pretty much means 99th in MCPS, regardless of what DCUM says the local numbers aren’t far from the national ones.

I just checked ParentVUE for my ES. You can't see local high percentiles, but you can see local medians.

For MAP, there is no school score, and District is almost the same (+/-2pts) than national norm.

For MCAP math, my school's median is a above MD state 75%ile, and LEA (MCPS) is in between but closer to the MD state median.

If you assume everything correlates between those two tests, then MD appears to be below national average, while MCPS is at national average, and my ES is higher.

It's anyone's guess how that extrapolates to 95%ile or 99%ile or 99.9%ile in school vs MCPS.

Or you could just use the data that MCPTA obtained from MCPS via FOIA.

I could if you linked it.

Join their restricted Facebook group to get access to it. I think they just need to verify that you're an actual MCPS parent
