[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAP scores staying the same basically mean the child has shown no growth between the fall and winter testing. The percentiles are normed nationally and may not necessarily extrapolate 1:1 with MCPS. This is something you should follow up with with their teacher, as they may have a different perspective on growth. Also, there are such things as bad testing days. How are your child's grades? If everything else is OK, then there may not be much to worry about.[/quote]

A few times, one of my kids went down 5-10 points, but they've also gone up as much as 20-30 points once or twice. I definitely keep an eye on this but also temper it with my own experiences. For example, my youngest's map-m dropped 5 points this winter, but I feel they've learned a lot this year, so expect it to shoot up this Spring. If it doesn't, I'll be surprised but will try and figure out what is going on... I also work with them especially in early ES since the school doesn't really give them much individual attention.[/quote]
