What % did your 3rd grade full-time center AAP student score on the fall MAP test for math?

[Anonymous]

99th percentile, which honestly surprised me. In 3rd grade AAP but wasn't in pool.

The grade level/subject level norms star on page 37, which is page 44 in the PDF, interestingly, they don't go above the 95th percentile.

These seem to be off the last school years testing cycle. The FCPS information sent home does not include the RIT scores, which is a measure of growth. I know my kid took the MAP last year as a 7th grader in the fall and spring but we never saw a document comparing the fall and spring scores and nothing in the document from this year provides me a RIT score.

Most kids entering AAP will have scores above the 95th percentile. The wealthier the school you are at, the higher those scores are going to be. 99th percentile in the nation might not be 99th percentile in FCPS, it might be 95th percentile.

And while this is the first time many ES kids are taking the MAP, there will be kids with scores in the 290's and into the 300's because the test is inherently, a math test. It is structured a bit differently then the iReady and other standardized assessments, but it is a math test. Kids were given problems based on their grade level and the test adjusted what problems the kids got based on their answers. I would expect that most kids in AAP will be in the 275s or higher on the MAP. Those are the scores that show above average learning and start to really push into high performance in the next grade levels material. But that is pure conjecture on my part.

I've got no clue how the test is scored, but my 4th grade AAP student got something like 235 and it said the max score was like 238 or something? Kid was in the 99th percentile. So I don't know if a score in the 290s is possible. (Then again, if it's an adaptive test maybe the max # of points is different per kid?)

Where does it say max score on your kid's results?

There is no max score in the MAP. Getting over 300 is really rare but possible, my kid scored a 309 on one of the Geometry sections. The 99th percentiles are very thin and long. It might be harder to get to the 290-300 ranged in 3rd grade, I don’t know. My kid has taken the Algebra and Geometry MAP in middle school and has been in the 290’s each time.

The math ceiling before precision loss is:
K-2 ≈ 210 (beyond ~200, NWEA often moves students to the 2-5 MAP test)
2-5 ≈ 270
6+ ≈ 300+

Are map percentile charts listed somewhere?

99th percentile math for both of my children. Both full time AAP. I think majority of full time AAP kids scored 99th percentile on MAP. My children usually get average math grade in their classes.

My son got 252, he is grade 2 though, I am not sure what this score means (this is his first time taking any MAP test).

[Anonymous]

84th % full time AAP. I think my kid got the lowest score out of all the parents posting in this forum lol.

Nope, my kid has always been anywhere from the 80s - 90s percentile wise (and a few years ago, even in the 60's on iready), but does well on math classes, always 4s, always nearly perfect or maybe miss 1-2 problems on math assessments.

My 1st grader who gets level 2 services (aka not much) scored in the 99th percentile/203 raw score on the MAP. My non-AAP 4th grader in regular math scored in the 86th percentile. My guess is the 90-95th percentile range is the gray area between regular and AAP.

[Anonymous]

Why are all these 6th grade parents responding?

I have a third grade AAP student. She scored in the 98th percentile. I would say many kids in her class do math enrichment.

[Anonymous]

86th percentile. Not in AAP but pushes in for advanced math.

My DC has the same and also in first. Does FCPS follow the MAP guidelines to switch students that took the K-2 MAP to the 2-5 test if they score above 200?

My kid always scored between 95-98th in math all thru elementary. Still scores the same now that he started middle.

He is an above average kid, not gifted or superstar or anything. The gifted kids are probably the ones scoring 99th all the time.

80’s percentile is probably your average grade level kid in this area
