[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader is in math 4/5 this year. Last spring i was searching this board and posting here to figure out what criteria are used to qualify for math 4/5. I was unable to figure that out. However, my DC took the fall MAP-M a few days ago and there is a wide range of kids in the class.
Yes there are top performers who scored around 246-250 but then there are kids who scored 209 too. So I am here to tell you all that the criteria might be school dependent but its safe to say that a kid testing in 70-75th percentile qualified to take math 4/5. Hopefully this information will help someone.[/quote]

At our school it is tighter than that. Have to be at least 95th percentile. [/quote]

Are you guessing or you know for sure?[/quote]

That’s what they told us when people asked. But you are right that every school is different - and even with 85th, if they need a few kids to fill the class they might take 80th percentile kids to fill it.

I will say that a bunch of people who were in 5/6 last year are now in 6+ in middle school and not AIM. The compaction is even faster in AIM (two years in one) and the view is it was not appropriate for kids who struggled with the 5/6 compaction. [/quote]
