Roberto Clemente MS Acceptance MAP scores

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone could share their accepted child's September MAP M and R scores. I know that these days many more factors are in play, but would love to know the ballpark numbers.
Thanks!!

one data point:
MAP M: 262; MAP R: 249

Seriously? I read all these MAP scores and think: 99% of the magnet test, 278 on MAP-M, 242 on MAP-R, Straight A's throughout 4th in 5th grade from a CES. Didn't even get waitlisted. None of these scores matter that much if you happen to be in a W-school district with cohorts.

Guess what, cohort-bitter poster? This thread is not about you! Or W schools.

I would have appealed if your child wanted to go. Those are excellent scores, even at a CES.

Not bitter at all, but the truth is that knowing the scores really doesn't matter that much as cohort seems to be king in the decision making. I think any child in the 97-99% range has a good shot, depending on the cohorts areas. You can look up online to see what 97-99% this translates to. We know kids with lower scores who got into the program, but they were from a different school pyramid. I'm okay with that.

To the other poster who mentioned appealing, we didn't consider mostly because at the end of the day, it wasn't as relevant to our child. Many kids are likely qualified if you are looking at just numbers.

Hi,

My child is going to write the exam this year and is currrently in CES, in elementary. He wants to goto this school based on the curriculam offered. My question is, if we apply for parkland magnet which is lottery based, as another option, will it affect him getting into this since we have another choice? Please advise. Also, is there a chance when his scores are in 230s in the MAP tests, but has been A student and good result in PARCC too.

Parkland magnet application has no effect on Clemente.

Parkland admission won't affect admission to Clemente. DC was invited to MLK, Clemente and Parkland. DC chose parkland for the compsci program. The Cogat test they take in 3rd will have more weight than the MAP scores. Good luck

No. 230s is way too low. How did your child even get into a CES?

Sorry... I meant to type 'DC chose Clemente' not Parkland.

NP, mine got into a CES with scores even lower than that. Could be it balanced out with a high Cogat. It’s pointless comparing scores unless you’re comparing schools too.

Totally agree. MAP scores do not matter that much. They care more about raw abilities, instead of knowledge.

They care about cohorts above everything else. OP's kid, it seems, goes to a lower performing cluster. My child with 99% Cogats and higher MAPs than OP's child wasn't admitted to a CES. So much for 'raw abilities'.

Before the brilliant cohort criteria, most of the slots went to children whose wealthy parents could enroll them in extracurricular prep classes. Now it's more common for the naturally gifted to end up in a magnet.
