Do Map-m and Map-r scores count for anything?

[Anonymous]

What, if any, of the scores count for anything?

I believe they help the teachers group the kids into reading and math groups. Wait... I don't think there are math groups anymore.

If you have a special needs child or a child who struggles in school, the school will consider the MapM and MapR scores in deciding whether to offer any type of additional assistance. Poor scores are what got my son, whose scores were on the wrong side of line when it came to eligibility for services, an IEP. Not sure if they have a benefit for kids who are doing well.

Not anymore. The 2.0 math curriculum doesn't correlate to map m, so it's utterly meaningless.

They use them in our school to identify kids who we'd enrichment.

Nonsense. Map-M is a nationwide test and math is math. If kids map-m scores are dropping its an indicator that they aren't learning math in school. This may be because 2.0 doesn't teach math BUT you should see this as a huge problem not an acceptable excuse.

Who says they are?

We use MAP-R scores to identify students who will likely need extra support during specific instructional activities or assessments. Recently, I provided the same reading at 5 different lexile levels for my roster of 170 middle schoolers based on their MAP-R scores.

Thank you for explaining!
