[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have they notified families of acceptances into the merit-based programs yet? (Upcounty for me would be MLK/Clemente)[/quote]

We’re down-county and haven’t heard anything yet.  DD should be in the pool based on test scores, but who knows anymore.[/quote]
Is test score the sole criterion?[/quote]

Presumig straight As, biggest factors is whether their MAP scores are 85th percentile locally normed. Schools in lower-FARM clusters will need a higher national percentile. The MCCPTA Gifted Education Committee found that in schools with the lowest and second-lowest FARM rates, you need to be much higher--around the 95th percentile nationally.

What data will be used to review Grade 5 students for needing enriched services in middle school?   
The process uses a multiple measures approach that includes Grade 5 report cards, locally-normed percentile ranks for the fall 2022 Measures of Adequate Progress in Reading and Mathematics (MAP-R and MAP-M), instructional reading level and student services including: special education services, EML- Emergent Multilingual Learner, Section 504 accommodations plan and Free and Reduced-priced Meals.  The math, science and computer science program will use the MAP-M, science and math report card grades;  and the humanities and communication program  will use the MAP-R along with the reading and writing grades. Students who meet various academic criteria will receive enriched services in middle school.
 
To receive enriched services for humanities and be placed in the humanities and communication lottery pool, Grade 5 students need to demonstrate an A in both reading and writing, above reading grade level on the marking period 1 report card from Grade 5, and a locally normed minimum of 85th percentile on  this year’s (fall) MAP-R.  For math, science or computer science, an A in both math and science and an indication of on level or higher for reading on the marking period 1 report card from Grade 5 and a locally normed minimum of 85th percentile on this year’s (fall) MAP-M.
