It says that in mine, too. I believe that is the date they are using because it's the last day of the first semester at FCPS.

30+ point improvement, but that's probably because he was sick during the Fall MAP and just wanted to get through it.

You have a first grader, so before they consider her AAP packet, there will be at least two more rounds of MAP scores.


I have an older kid in AAP. I'm familiar with the process thanks.

I recall a test called the IOWA is used and students who get on the 91% percentile or higher get in Algebra 1 Hn, both of my kiddos got a 99%.

What is the difference between student percentile and school percentile?
And why is the percentile shown only up to 95 and not higher?

No more IOWA now FCPS started the Algebra HN in 6th grade pilot program

The report shown is just general guidelines/benchmarks. Eventually FCPS will post a report for your kid in ParentVue with their exact percentile and improvement from Fall. I suspect they will probably put it out next week with the end of hte grading period, which is why the test date is the end of the grading period.

Anyone know if you are compared to grade level peers or math level peers? 5th grader taking 6th grade math or 6th grader taking 7th grade math?

Is it posted for all elementary schools? Not seeing it for 5th grade.

The student percentile is based on where they are within the population that you are comparing. You can have a class percentile, school percentile, pyramid percentile, county percentile, state percentile, national percentile.

What the student percentile shows is where that student stands within the particular comparison group. So they might have a lower percentile for their class then the county and the country if they are at a school with a lot of kids who have been attending math enrichment. It is not unusual for kids to have a lower percentile on county scores in FCPS and a higher percentile for national scores for the same test. FCPS has a lot of highly educated families who put an emphasis on education. Kids in FCPS are more likely to be doing academic enrichment at home or in programs, which will effect the scores in the County.

The document I posted give the following details to answer your first question:
1.1.3. Student and School Norms
MAP Growth Achievement and Growth Norms offer achievement and growth norms for
students and schools. Student-level achievement and growth norms provide comparative
data on individual MAP Growth performance in relation to the U.S. population of students
in the same grade. School-level norms offer comparative data for a school’s grade-level
aggregate MAP Growth scores relative to the U.S. population of schools serving that same
grade.

This is just a technical manual published norm and they only published to 95 percentile. If your child's score exceed the numerical score, you will need to wait for FCPS to post the MAP score report to find out where your child is between 96- >99 percentile land, or you can guesstimate using the S.D. and mean which are also in the technical manual link.

Reposting the link: https://www.nwea.org/resource-center/white-paper/88182/MAP-Growth-Norms_NWEA_Technical-Manual.pdf/

FCPS MAP - Math score is not adjusted based on local norm (I think this is what PP at 01/27/2026 08:30 suggested), that's the NGAT.

The percentile is compared to your grade level, so everyone else in the same grade.
