Has anyone gotten MCAP reports from 2023 testing?

The scores aren't especially meaningful. The test has issues and the scores don't reflect much of anything.

And students dont even need to pass it for graduation. This is another of their "great" ideas to add more time wasting testing, and have district offices do admin level mailings.

The results weren't all that meaningful. Until they take the time work out the bugs I wouldn't pay much attention to this. It's too bad they can't use a proven national test instead of testing this new one on our kids.

Yet they are making students take the tests and will count for 20% of their second half grade.

My kid scored 240+/250 on both last year. They said it was super easy.

One group is concerned about the test itself because it was so new and untested. The other is just the same old posters looking to find fault with MCPS.

MCPS is not holding these back because the test isn't meaningful. MCPS is holding these back because they don't want parents to know how poorly their kids performed.

This is a terrible test that the state made up and was never vetted. The scores aren't meaningful so that makes no sense.

You keep telling yourself that to justify the horrendous MCPS student performance. It will not make it true.

Every school district around the state performs horribly in that test because it is a horrible test.

That don't sound like MCAP. Try again.

My kids just got their score - for last year.
Should I be concerned? Kid (8th grade) scores 275 on
Map-M and headed to a math magnet next year and then got only a "3" on mcap algebra - i think 85th percentile. Lack of concurrence is worrying.

I guess we will pay for review over the summer just in case MCAP is the actual "good" test?

It isn't a credible test.

What are the issues? The questions or the scoring?

Still nothing for us. MCPS is so incompetent. Can’t even mail a report out.

The post states they scored a 240 out of 250. Not sure what you expect here.

What's even more incompetent are parents who think distributing results for a state-mandated test MCPS' is a job.

MCPS manages a lot of things MDSE requires.
