[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the percentages across the board or for the school internally? Is your kid 75th percentile nationwide or within X School?[/quote]

Yes,  only provided national norms percentiles.[/quote]

And ... what else do you want?  If you want more, then go into the teacher and discuss the MAP scores.  Ask them about the Class Growth Chart.  It gives a district norm.  I am not sure how much that will help you, though, if you're not satisfied with the national norm data.  Certainly, no matter where you are located, it would be expected that an upper SES child would score better than a low SES child; however, beyond that you are splitting hairs if you expect that a "good school" will have a material effect on the outcome of a random test score.  The trend data is going to be more important than anything else.  Is your child showing continued improvement?[/quote]

It’s not just SES.  A good curriculum will cover content and knowledge and of course has an impact on the test scores.  I’m not disputing growth trend is important but content knowledge is also absolutely important and directly tied to the curriculum.[/quote]
