[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They started doing this in spring of last year. I think it's the same across the county. The 6+ test is better for kids in a county where most kids are above national averagem[/quote] It was done only in the spring and only for kids enrolled in 5/6. For fall and winter, the ES MAP was used. OP, I think this will put kids in 5/6 taking the MS test at a disadvantage for the math/sci/computer sci magnet. My kids score (which was admittedly very high on the ES test) dropped more than 20 points. I would reach out to central office about this. [/quote] What was the percentile change? Dropping from 99+ to 95 won't change lottery eligibility. There isn't a huge cohort of kids who are bad at math it has parents gunning for the magnet. The striver parents already have their kids in CM 5/6. The others don't want their kids to get on a bus so they skip Math 6 and Math 7.[/quote]
